The diagram above shows the wire of a sonometer box set into resonance by a vibrating tuning fork of frequency f, when the wire is stretched by a tension T, the resonating length of the wire is I while the wavelength of the sound produced is \(\lambda\). Which of the following statements is not correct? The wave produced on the wire is

stationary and lonitudinal
stationary and mechanical
mechanical and longitudinal
progessive and transverse

Wave produced in a sonometer wire is transverse, standing and mechanical. Therefore, the answer is B

in a sonometre transverse and standing waves is produced but since sound waves are mechanical so the answer is B
Here is an explanation:
mechanical waves are moving waves...longitudinal are staNDING WAVES
