| 2. It is produced by the vibrations which are periodic. | 2. It is produced by an irregular succession of disturbances. |
| 3. All the component waves are similar without any sudden change in their wavelength and amplitude | 3. The component wave chanqes their character suddenly and they are of short duration.. |
