    The sound wave produced in a gas is always

    A) longitudinal    

    B)  transverse

    C)  stationary

    D)  electromagnetic

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Sound waves are longitudinal waves. They produce alternately the states of compression and rarefraction at a point in the medium. When two sound waves of same frequency travel simultaneously in a medium in the same direction, then at some points both the waves produce compression (or rarefraction). At these points intensity of sound is maximum.
