Hello students, we are given a few statements and we need to see if these statements are true or false.
00:08
The first statement states that a mechanical wave starts with a disturbance in matter.
00:14
Now this is true.
00:17
The second statement states that particles of matter actually travel along with the mechanical wave.
00:23
Now this statement is also true.
00:27
Since when a mechanical wave travels, the particles of the matter will shift from their main positions for the mechanical wave to travel.
00:39
The shift in the particles is perpendicular to the direction or up and down to the direction of the travelling of the waves.
00:49
The third statement states that transverse waves travel only through solid matter.
00:56
Now this is false.
00:58
Since light is a form of transverse wave that can travel through vacuum as well.
01:07
Now the fourth statement states that earthquakes cause longitudinal waves.
01:15
Now this is falls as earthquakes cause both transfers and longitudinal waves...
