Answer: A. Transverse

Explanation:

Sound is a mechanical transverse wave, it travels faster in solids than in liquids or gases. This is because the speed of the mechanical waves is determined by a relationship between the elastic properties of the medium in which they are propagated and the mass per unit volume of the medium.

In addition, the speed of sound varies with changes in the temperature of the medium. This is because an increase in temperature means that the frequency of interactions between the particles that transport the vibration increases, hence this increase in activity increases the speed.

Hence:

<h3>Sounds travels in a <u>transverse</u> wave</h3>

To develop the problem we will start by finding the energy taken by each cycle through the efficiency of the motor and the exhausted energy. Later the work will be found for the conservation of energy in which this is equivalent to the difference between the two calculated energy values. Finally the estimated time will be calculated with the work and the power given,

$\text{Efficiency of the heat engine} = \eta = 26\% = 0.26$
