Question

The standard wave format for any wave is _________wave. When depicting ______ wave in standard wave format, the direction of motion must be rotated by 90 degrees. Only one of two waves is shown at a time when placing ________wave in standard wave format.
First blank:
a. a transverse
b. a longitudinal
c. an electromagnetic

Second blank:
a. a transverse
b. a longitudinal
c. an electromagnetic

Third blank:
a. a transverse
b. a longitudinal
c. an electromagnetic

Answer 1

Answer;

• Transverse wave
• Longitudinal wave
• Electromagnetic wave

The standard wave format for any wave is transverse wave. When depicting longitudinal wave in standard wave format, the direction of motion must be rotated by 90 degrees. Only one of two waves is shown at a time when placing electromagnetic wave in standard wave format.

Explanation;

Transverse wave is a wave in which the vibration of particles is perpendicular with the direction of the wave motion. Longitudinal wave on the other hand are waves in which the vibration of particles is parallel to the direction of the wave motion.

Electromagnetic waves are wave which do not require a material medium for transmission, they include, radio waves, microwaves, UV light, etc. Most electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature.

Answer 2

A transverse (sort of a plot of a sine or cosine graph, basically)
b longitudinal
c Electromagnetic (an electric wave and a magnetic wave travelling together at right angles to each other)
