Question

The property of a medium necessary for wave propagation is(a) inertia(b) elasticity(c) low resistance(d) All of the above

Answer 1

All of the above

Hope it helped you :)

Answer 2

Answer:

d) All of the above

Explanation:

For mechanical waves such as sound wave, rope wave, ripple, etc require medium in order to propagate because the mechanism of wave propagation is through molecules/atoms distortion or disturbance.

The closer the molecules, the faster the wave propagation. It could be achieved if the temperature is relatively low. Thus, solids are the best medium for waves to travel fast.

The other factor about speed of waves is the mass of the atoms/molecules the more, the less the mass , the less the inertia or resistance to motion, therefore resulting in higher speed of waves.

Electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves don’t require any medium since the things they are distorting are not things like solids, liquids or gases.

For wave propagation the necessary properties are :

* inertia

* elasticity

* low resistance
