Consider the foll

Class 11th HC Verma - Concepts of Physics Part 1 16. Sound Waves

Answer :

Sound waves in a gas propagate due to the oscillation of the pressure at a point. The compressions and the rarefactions move through a point in the gas thus oscillating the pressure at that point, the layer of the gas does not oscillate.

Hence, statement A is correct and statement B is wrong.
