What are the types of waves

1 answer:

8 0

Waves come in two kinds, longitudinal and transverse. Transverse waves are like those on water, with the surface going up and down, and longitudinal waves are like of those of sound, consisting of alternating compressions and rarefactions in a medium

i hope this helps :)

A grating has 470 lines/mm. how many orders of the visible wavelength 538 nm can it produce in addition to the m = 0 order?

Natali [406]

Three complete orders on each side of the m=0 order can be produced in addition to the m=0 order.

The ruling separation is d=1/(470mm-1)

$= 2.1 \times 10 {}^{ - 3}mm$

Diffraction lines occurs at an angle θ such that dsin=mλ,when λ is the wavelength and m is an integer.

Notice that for a given order,the line associated with a long wavelength is produced at a greater angle than the line associated with shorter wavelength.

we take λ to be the longest wavelength in the visible spectrum (538nm) and find the greatest integer value of m such that θ is less than 90°.

That is,find the greater integer value of m for which mλ<d.

since,d/λ

$= 538 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} m/2.1 \times 10 {}^{ - 6}$

There are three complete orders on each side of the m=0 order.

The second and third orders overlap.

Read the scenario and solve these two problems.

Burka [1]

Answers:

a) 5400000 J

b) 45.92 m

Explanation:

a) The kinetic energy $K$ of an object is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}$

Where:

$m=12000 kg$ is the mass of the train

$V=30 m/s$ is the speed of the train

Solving the equation:

$K=\frac{1}{2}(12000 kg)(30 m/s)^{2}$

$K=5400000 J$ This is the train's kinetic energy at its top speed

b) Now, according to the Conservation of Energy Law, the total initial energy is equal to the total final energy:

$E_{i}=E_{f}$

$K_{i}+P_{i}=K_{f}+P_{f}$

Where:

$K_{i}=5400000 J$ is the train's initial kinetic energy

$P_{i}=0 J$ is the train's initial potential energy

$K_{f}=0 J$ is the train's final kinetic energy

$P_{f}=mgh$ is the train's final potential energy, where $g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity and $h$ is the height.

Rewriting the equation with the given values:

$5400000 J=(12000 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})h$

Finding $h$ :

$h=45.918 m \approx 45.92 m$

A 6.7kg object moves with a velocity of 8m/s. What's its kinetic energy?

Snezhnost [94]

Given parameters:

Mass of object = 6.7kg

Velocity = 8m/s

Unknown parameter:

Kinetic energy = ?

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. There are two forms of energy;

Kinetic and potential energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. Whereas, potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body usually at rest.

Kinetic energy is mathematically expressed as;

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$

where m is the mass of the body

v is the velocity of the body

Since we have been given both mass and velocity, input the parameter to solve for the unknown;

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 6.7 x 8² = 214.4‬J

So the kinetic energy of the body is 214.4‬J
