Longitudinal waves exhibit:
Correct answer: D. Phenomena of superposition of waves
- A. Polarization
- B. Particle nature
- C. Property of energy transmission in space
- D. Phenomena of superposition of waves
Explanation
In air column and wind instruments, longitudinal waves produce superposition. Hence, option D is correct.

About Waves
Progressive waves transfer energy through oscillations, with wavelength, frequency, amplitude and wave speed related by v = fλ; sound speed depends on the medium. Superposition produces interference and stationary waves in strings and organ pipes, while simple harmonic motion describes the oscillation itself and must be distinguished from wave propagation.
