91. Which of the following modes of vibration exhibits the shortest wavelength<br />

at a given frequency and in a given material?<br />

A. A longitudinal wave<br />

B. A compression wave<br />

C. A shear wave<br />

D. A surface wave<br />

92. In general, shear waves are more sensitive to small discontinuities than<br />

longitudinal wave <strong>for</strong> a given frequency and in a given material because:<br />

A. The wavelength of a shear wave is shorter than the wavelength of<br />

longitudinal waves<br />

B. Shear waves are not as easily dispersed in the material<br />

C. The direction of particle vibration <strong>for</strong> shear waves is more sensitive to<br />

discontinuities<br />

D. The wavelength of shear waves is longer than the wavelength of<br />

longitudinal waves
