Question

Which type of wave forms at the boundary between air and water in the open ocean?

A. Transverse
B. Electromagnetic
C. Longitudinal
D. Surface

Physical Science Honors APEX

Answer 1

Waves at the surface of the ocean and lakes are orbital progressive waves. This type of wave forms at the boundary of two liquids of different density, in this case air and water.

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is option A. Traverse wave and the explanation is given below:

Explanation:

• Transverse waves: Transverse waves oscillate at right angles to the wave's advance. Transverse waves include water ripples, seismic S waves, and electromagnetic waves (radio and light).
• Electromagnetic waves: Electromagnetic waves, often known as EM waves, are waves that are produced when an electric field and a magnetic field vibrate back and forth with one another. To put it another way, electromagnetic waves are made up of magnetic and electric fields that oscillate.
• Longitudinal wave: Longitudinal waves are waves in which the vibration of the medium occurs in a direction that is parallel to ("along") the direction in which the wave travels, and the displacement of the medium occurs in a direction that is either the same as or opposite to the direction in which the wave travels.
• Surface wave: Surface waves are slower than body waves and have a lower frequency. Seismograms show them clearly. Deeper earthquakes produce weaker surface waves.
