A. Longitudinal Waves
B. Transverse Waves
C. Perpendicular Waves
D. Electromagnetic Waves

Answer 1

Answer: It should be A

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:A. Longitudinal waves

Explanation: The displacement of the medium parallel to the propagation of the wave is a characteristic of longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves are also characterized by compression and rarefraction.

A wave propagated along the length of a stretched Slinky toy, the increase and decrease of the coil gives a good example of longitudinal wave.
