'In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the flow of energy' is true for transverse waves only.
'In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the flow of energy' is true for longitudinal waves only.
'Many wave motions in nature are a combination of longitudinal and transverse motion' is true for both longitudinal and transverse waves.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Longitudinal waves are those where the direction of propagation of particles are parallel to the medium' particles. While transverse waves propagate perpendicular to the medium' particles.
As wave motions are assumed to be of standing waves which comprises of particles moving parallel as well as perpendicular to the medium, most of the wave motions are composed of longitudinal and transverse motion.
So the option stating the medium' particle moves perpendicular to the direction of the energy flow is true for transverse waves. Similarly, the option stating the medium' particle moves parallel to the direction of flow of energy is true for longitudinal waves only.
And the option stating that wave motions comprises of combination of longitudinal and transverse motion is true for both of them.
Radiation fog is the fog that is formed when the heat absorbed the Earth's surface is released into the atmosphere producing fog. This only occurs when the air is clear and calm. In the center of an anticyclone, the conditions of the air are clear and calm which is favorable for the formation of radiation fog. The center of cyclones, on the other hand, is turbulent and cloudy which prevents the formation of radiation fogs.
The answer is D. Either absorbed or reflected. The reason is because if no light is being shown on the other side, the substance is not letting any light pass through. Since we do not know anything else about the substance, we do not know which one of the two it is doing. The scientist would not see any light on the detector if 100% of the light is reflected and the same thing would happen if 100% of the light was absorbed.
