Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Transverse waves are able to travel through any medium, including water and air. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, cannot pass through a gas or liquid without breaking them down. This is because longitudinal waves vibrate in a circular motion while transverse waves vibrate along the surface of an object.
The correct statement would be that transverse waves can travel through any medium, but longitudinal waves cannot.
