Question

What do ocean waves and sound waves have in common?

Answer 1

D. Both exhibit the same particle-to-particle interaction.Because disturbance is propagated with the help of particles. Other than this,[ light waves are electromagnetic waves. ocean waves and sound waves are mechanical waves. they are able to transfer energy. electromagnetic wave and ocean waves are transverse waves while sound waves are the longitudinal wave. they show wave properties: reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, and plane-polarization. longitudinal waves such as sound waves cannot be plane-polarized]. The one in the box shows different examples of waves with their examples. Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

E. Both are mechanical waves.

Explanation:

As we know that sounds waves are longitudinal waves in which medium particles will oscillates parallel to the wave propagation.

While in ocean the waves are of both nature i.e. transverse and longitudinal both. Here the energy is transferred to all molecules inside the water by transverse nature of wave while in the case of surface the energy is transferred by longitudinal waves.

So here we can say that common thing between them is that both type of waves required medium particles to propagate energy through the medium.

So all those waves which required medium particles to propagate energy then it is known as mechanical waves

So here correct answer will be

E. Both are mechanical waves.
