An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya
a
Particles of the medium must oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.
b
Only disturbance propagates through the medium with a definite velocity which depends upon the elastic and inertia property of the medium.
c
Particles of the medium may oscillate about their mean positions parallel to the direction of propagation.
d
Both (2) and (3) are correct.
