Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow. Longitudinal and transverse wave: Longitudinal waves are defined as waves those are capable of displacing the medium in a direction either in the direction of the waves or opposite. Longitudinal mechanical waves are known as compressional waves. This is because these mechanical waves produce a lot of compression and rarefaction while travelling through medium. These waves are also called pressure waves as there is an increase and decrease in pressure while travelling. Sound waves like vibrations, P-Waves created through earthquakes, etc. Me some kinds of longitudinal waves. A transverse wave is defined as the wave that moves in the perpendicular direction of the vibration. One of the most important examples of transverse waves includes the waves created by the drum's beating. The membrane of the drum moves perpendicular to the surface. Another example of a transverse wave is light. Transverse wave travels through crests and troughs. Transverse waves are mostly present in solids those have profound elasticity. In some cases, when there is a deformation in the material, the wave is called a shear wave. Which wave is also known as shear wave?
(A) Longitudinal wave
(B) Transverse wave
(C) Both (A) and (B)
(D) None of these
