Sound waves are mechanical waves in which the particles in the medium vibrate in a direction parallel to the direction of energy transport. what is another name for the type of wave that transfers energy in this way?

question 4 options:

a. longitudinal waves

b. transverse waves

c. pressure waves

d. surface waves

a. Longitudinal waves

Explanation:

Waves can be classified into two different types:

- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the vibration of the medium occurs in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. An example of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves.

- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the vibration of the medium occurs in a direction parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave. Sound waves are examples of longitudinal waves, because they are produced by the motion of the air particles (or of the particles of the medium) which oscillate back and forth along the direction of propagation of the wave.

Therefore, the correct answer is

a. Longitudinal waves

colorectal cancer may also develop from areas of abnormal cells in the lining of the colon or rectum. this area of abnormal cells is called dysplasia and is more commonly seen in people with certain inflammatory diseases of the bowel such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
