Let's analyse each statement one by one:1st: When a wave travels through a medium, the particles in that medium vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.Analysis: The statement you provided is true for transverse waves. In a transverse wave, the particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction in which the wave itself is traveling. 2nd: When a wave travels through a medium, the particles in that medium vibrate in a direction parallel to the direction the wave travels.Analysis: This statement is true for longitudinal waves, where the particles in the medium vibrate in a direction parallel to the direction the wave travels. 3rd: The wave speed is equal to the wavelength times the frequency.Analysis: The relation between wave speed wavelength and frequency for both longitudinal and transverse waves can be given as, v = λfHence, this equation is true for both longitudinal and transverse wave. 4th: When a wave travels through a medium, the wave speed will depend on an inertial property of that medium. Analysis: This statement is true for both longitudinal and transverse waves. The speed of a wave in a medium depends on the properties of that medium, including its density, elasticity, and other inertial properties. 5th: When a wave travels through a medium, the wave speed will depend on restoring force in the medium. Analysis: This statement is true for both longitudinal and transverse waves. The speed of a wave in a medium depends on the properties of that medium, including its density, elasticity, and other inertial properties and restoring force. On the basis of above explanations correct answers are:Statement only true for transverse wave:When a wave travels through a medium, the particles in that medium vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.Statement only true for longitudinal wave:When a wave travels through a medium, the particles in that medium vibrate in a direction parallel to the direction the wave travels.Statement true for both longitudinal and transverse wave:The wave speed is equal to the wavelength times the frequency.When a wave travels through a medium, the wave speed will depend on restoring force in the medium When a wave travels through a medium, the wave speed will depend on an inertial property of that medium.

Stretched string

A stretched string is a wire which is made up of any metal that must have a larger length compared to its thickness. The ends of the wire are fixed, and when they oscillate or are plucked, it produces two reflected transverse waves of the same frequency and same amplitude. The waves or pulses are traveling in alternate directions and superimpose with one another. This waveform is named standing or stationary waves.
