Properties of sound
A sound wave is a mechanical wave (or mechanical vibration) that transit through media such as gas (air), liquid (water), and solid (wood).
Quality Of Sound
A sound or a sound wave is defined as the energy produced due to the vibrations of particles in a medium. When any medium produces a disturbance or vibrations, it causes a movement in the air particles which produces sound waves. Molecules in the air vib…
Categories of Sound Wave
People perceive sound in different ways, like a medico student takes sound as vibration produced by objects reaching the human eardrum. A physicist perceives sound as vibration produced by an object, which produces disturbances in nearby air molecules th…

Answer to Problem 2FC

The correct option is,“(a) partly transverse and partly longitudinal”.

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

In a domino toppling event, the dominos are lined up close together, and then the dominos are allowed to topple one after the other.

From the given data, it is clear that the movement of the dominoes is partly parallel and partly perpendicular to the direction of the disturbance that propagates. That is, the propagation of the disturbance along the line of dominos is partly longitudinal and partly transverse.

Conclusion:

Thus, the correct option is,“(a) partly transverse and partly longitudinal”.
