Question

what is common between transverse waves and longitudinal waves?
both include an amplitude, crest, and rarefactions
both move faster at higher temperatures
both move slower through densely packed molecules
both include a wavelength from compression to compression

Explanation:

1. Analyze option A: Transverse waves have amplitude and crest, but rarefactions are only in longitudinal waves.
2. Analyze option B: The speed of both transverse and longitudinal waves generally increases with higher temperatures as the increased thermal - energy leads to more rapid particle motion which helps in wave - propagation.
3. Analyze option C: Waves move faster through densely - packed molecules, not slower.
4. Analyze option D: Wavelength from compression to compression is specific to longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.

Answer:

B. Both move faster at higher temperatures
