Statement - 1: Wave on the surface of a liquid is a combination of transverse and longitudinal motion of the liquid particles. But inside the liquid, the wave has to be longitudinal. and

Statement - 2: The bulk of liquid cannot have extensional tension or stress whereas the surface of liquid has property of extensional tension due to surface tension.
