d. both a and b

Explanation:

Seismic waves are both transverse and compressional or longitudinal waves.

A seismic wave is an elastic wave that causes a sudden disturbance in earth materials.

  • Seismic waves are both longitudinal and transverse waves.
  • There are two main types of seismic waves which are the surface and body waves.
  • The surface waves runs on the earth surface. These are the rayleigh and love waves.
  • The surface waves causes damages on the earth surface as they are both longitudinal and transverse.
  • Body waves moves within the earth surface. They are p-waves and s-waves.
  • P-waves are longitudinal or compressional waves that propagates within the earth surface.
  • S-waves are transverse waves that moves perpendicularly to their direction of propagation.

Sound travels through air at 343 m/s,
sasho [114]

The sound wave will have traveled 2565 m  farther in water than in air.

Answer:

Explanation:

It is known that distance covered by any object is directly proportional to the velocity of the object and the time taken to cover that distance.

Distance = Velocity × Time.

So if time is kept constant, then the distance covered by a wave can vary depending on the velocity of the wave.

As we can see in the present case, the velocity of sound wave in air is 343 m/s. So in 2.25 s, the sound wave will be able to cover the distance as shown below.

Distance = 343 × 2.25 =771.75 m

And for the sound wave travelling in fresh water, the velocity is given as 1483 m/s. So in a time interval of 2.25 s, the distance can be determined as the product of velocity and time.

Distance = 1483×2.25=3337 m.

Since, the velocity of sound wave travelling in fresh water is greater than the sound wave travelling in air, the distance traveled by sound wave in fresh water will be greater.

Difference in distance covered in water and air = 3337-772 m = 2565 m

So the sound wave will have traveled 2565 m  farther in water than in air.
