What is a transverse wave

Physics
1 answer:
Gnom [1K]3 years ago
3 0
<span>A transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular (or right angled) to the direction of energy transfer. If a transverse wave is moving in the positive x-direction, its oscillations are in up and down directions that lie in the y–z plane. Light is an example of a transverse wave.</span>

4. What quantity of heat is required to raise the temperature of 100
kupik [55]

Answer:

Q = 836.4 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 100 grams

Initial temperature = 25°C

Final temperature = 45°C

We know that the specific heat capacity of water is equal to 4.182 J/g°C.

To find the quantity of heat;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 45 - 25

dt = 20°C

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

Q = 100*4.182*20

Q = 836.4 Joules.

1. What is the relationship between wavelength and the penetrating power of an electromagnetic wave?
Andreyy89

#1

As we know that energy of electromagnetic wave is given by

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

so here we know that penetrating power will directly depends on its energy and energy inversely depends on wavelength

So here we can say correct answer will be

C) The penetrating power decreases as the wavelength increases.

#2

Speed of sound is maximum in solids and minimum in gas

so here as ice melts into water the speed of sound must have to decrease

so correct answer will be

D) The speed of sound would decrease because sound travels faster through solids than liquids.

#3

mechanical waves required medium to travel while non mechanical waves do not require any medium to travel

so here correct answer will be

A) sound

Electromagnetic waves differ from the other types of waves because they are
Ronch [10]

Correct answer choice is :



B) Able to travel through a vacuum.



Explanation:



Electromagnetic waves are applied to carry long/short/FM wavelength radio waves, and TV/telephone/wireless signals or services. They are also effective for transferring energy in the form of microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays. Electromagnetic waves change from mechanical waves in that they do not need a medium to generate. This means that electromagnetic waves can move not only in the air and solid matters but also in the void of space.
