With the propagation of a longitudinal wave through a material medium, the quantities transmitted in the propagation direction are

1. Energy, momentum and mass
2. Energy
3. Energy and mass
4. Energy and linear momentum

Correct answer: Energy and linear momentum

Solution

In a longitudinal wave, energy and linear momentum are transmitted through the medium as the particles oscillate about their mean positions. Mass is not transported, as the particles only vibrate locally.
