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.
