Which of the following is not a transverse wave?
- A Light waves
- B Sound waves
- C Waves on a violin string
- D Water waves
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Sound waves
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Light waves, wave on string and water haves has its particle vibration in direction perpendicular to wave motion, so they are transverse wave. Sound wave has its particle vibration direction along the direction of wave motion, so it is a longitudinal wave.

- Five moles of an ideal gas has pressure \(p_0\) volume \(V_0\) and temperature \(T_0\). The gas is expanded to volume \(3 V_0\) along a path, so that the pressure \(p\) is changed as function of volume \(V\) as \(p=p_0\left(V / V_0\right)\). The pressure is then reduced to \(p_0\) maintaining the volume constant. The gas undergoes an isobaric compression till the volume and temperature become \(V_0\) and \(T_0\), respectively.
