Match Column-$1$ with Column-$2$.
Column-$1$ Column-$2$ $(a)$ Light waves $(i)$ Mechanical and transverse. $(b)$ Sound waves $(ii)$ Mechanical and longitudinal. $(c)$ Earthquake waves $(iii)$ Non-mechanical and transverse. $(d)$ Waves on a tense string $(iv)$ Mechanical,transverse and longitudinal.
| Column-$1$ | Column-$2$ |
| $(a)$ Light waves | $(i)$ Mechanical and transverse. |
| $(b)$ Sound waves | $(ii)$ Mechanical and longitudinal. |
| $(c)$ Earthquake waves | $(iii)$ Non-mechanical and transverse. |
| $(d)$ Waves on a tense string | $(iv)$ Mechanical,transverse and longitudinal. |
(A) The correct matches are as follows:
$(a)$ Light waves are electromagnetic waves,which are non-mechanical and transverse in nature. Hence,$(a-iii)$.
$(b)$ Sound waves require a medium to propagate,making them mechanical,and they propagate as longitudinal waves. Hence,$(b-ii)$.
$(c)$ Earthquake waves (seismic waves) include both $P$-waves (longitudinal) and $S$-waves (transverse),making them mechanical,transverse,and longitudinal. Hence,$(c-iv)$.
$(d)$ Waves on a tense string are mechanical waves that propagate as transverse waves. Hence,$(d-i)$.
Therefore,the correct matching is $(a-iii, b-ii, c-iv, d-i)$.
