a) neither longitudinal nor transverse

b) both longitudinal and transverse

c) only longitudinal

d) only transverse

Answer:

The correct option is b) both longitudinal and transverse

Let’s concentrate on the motion of the boat. The water is drawn back using a propeller. As a result, a longitudinal wave is created. It goes deeper into the water laterally, generating a transverse wave.
As a result, a motor boat’s water waves are both transverse and longitudinal.
