Water waves produced by a motorboat sailing in water are:
1. neither longitudinal nor transverse
2. both longitudinal and transverse
3. only longitudinal
4. only transverse
(2) Hint: Recall the definitions of longitudinal and transverse waves.
Water waves produced by a motorboat sailing in water are both longitudinal and transverse because the waves produce transverse as well as lateral vibrations in the particles of the medium.
