What do ocean waves and sound waves have in common? a. both are transverse waves. b. both are longitudinal waves. c. both are electromagnetic waves. d. both exhibit the same particle-to-particle interaction. e. both are mechanical waves.

E. Both are mechanical waves

Explanation:

The correct answer is E. Both are mechanical waves

As we know that sounds waves are longitudinal waves in which medium particles will oscillates parallel to the wave propagation.

While in ocean the waves are of both nature i.e. transverse and longitudinal both. Here the energy is transferred to all molecules inside the water by transverse nature of wave while in the case of surface the energy is transferred by longitudinal waves.

So here we can say that common thing between them is that both type of waves required medium particles to propagate energy through the medium.So all those waves which required medium particles to propagate energy then it is known as mechanical waves

So here correct answer will be

potential energy is directly proportional to height.

more height = more potential energy.

greatest increase in height = greatest increase in potential energy

where are the points with the greatest increase in height ?

has to be c-e or d-e .

what is the question because that is not a question.
