Answer: C. series of compression and rarefaction.

Explanation:

A longitudinal wave is the one where medium particles oscillate in the direction of wave motion. The energy is transferred by series of compression and rarefaction. Compression is region of high density of medium particles and rarefaction is the low density region through which the wave travels.

<u>Thus, a P wave of earthquake which is a longitudinal wave traverses through soil by a series of compression and rarefaction. </u>

Natali [406]

(a) The height of the cliff will be 8.26 meters.

(b) The time would it take to reach the ground will be 0.717 sec.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3><h3 />

The change of displacement with respect to time is defined as the velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity. it is a time-based component.

(a) The height of the cliff will be 8.26 meters.

According to Newton's second equation of motion

$\rm H =ut-\frac{1}{2} gt^2 \\\\ \rm H =8\times 2.35-\frac{1}{2} 9.81 (2.35)^2\\\\\rm H =8.16 \; m$

Hence The height of the cliff will be 8.26 meters.

(b)The time would it take to reach the ground will be 0.717 sec.

We must have the final velocity to find the time so;

$\rm v^2=u^2+2gh\\\\ \rm v^2=8^2+2\times 9.81 \times 8.6 \\\\ \rm v= \sqrt{8^2+2\times 9.81 \times 8.6}\\\\\rm v=15.03 \;m/sec$

According to Newton's third equation of motion ;

$\rm v=u-gt \\\\ \rm t=\frac{v-u}{g} \\\\ \rm t=\frac{15.03-8}{9.81} \\\\ \rm t=0.717 sec.$

Hence the time would it take to reach the ground will be 0.717 sec.

Write down the (real) electric and magnetic fields for a monochromatic plane wave of amplitude E0 , frequency w, and phase angle

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

a) the oscillation of this field is in phase, when the magnetic field goes in the negative direction of y, the elective field goes in the positive direction of the z axis

b) the direction of the magnetic field perpendicular to this electric field and the speed in the negative x the magnetic field goes in the x direction and in the direction (1, - 1.1)

Explanation:

a) the polarization the determined wave oscillates the electric field, which is the z axis

As the wave travels on the negative x-axis and the magnetic field is perpendicular, this field goes on the positive y-axis

the oscillation of this field is in phase, when the magnetic field goes in the negative direction of y, the elective field goes in the positive direction of the z axis

be) in the case of a polarization in the xi plane the magnetic field must go in the direction of the magnetic field perpendicular to this electric field and the speed in the negative x the magnetic field goes in the x direction and in the direction (1, - 1.1)
