Why is a solid substance able to transport both longitu- dinal waves and transverse waves, but a homogeneous fluid is able to transport only longitudinal waves?

Explanation:

The motion of particles in a wave can be either perpendicular to the wave direction (transverse) or parallel to it (longitudinal) waves.

Only longitudinal waves can propagate through a fluid (in the transverse direction).

This is because in the transverse direction, the fluid doesnt have a restoring force.

answer: the primary difference between a hypothesis and a theory is that b hypothesis is falsifiable, but a theory has been proven to be correct. theory is an explanation of something that is happening but hypothesis is a guess of something that can happen
