Waves that travel from one part of the medium to another are called:
AProportional
BProgressive
CProvisional
DProfessional
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Progressive
1. Some wave patterns move along and others stay put.
2. The moving kind carries the disturbance onward.
3. Transverse or longitudinal, they are travelling or progressive waves.
4. So the answer is progressive.
