93. 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<br />

94. In general, which of the following modes of vibration would have the<br />

greatest penetrating power in a coarse-grained material if the frequency of the<br />

waves is the same?<br />

A. Longitudinal waves<br />

B. Shear waves<br />

C. Transverse waves<br />

D. All of the above modes would have the same penetrating power
