Answer:

Of longitudinal waves

Explanation:

Depending on the direction of the oscillation, there are two types of waves:

- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the oscillations occur perpendicularly to the direction of propagation of the wave. Examples are electromagnetic waves.

- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the oscillations occur parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave. In such a wave, the oscillations are produced by alternating regions of higher density of particles, called compressions, and regions of lower density of particles, called rarefactions. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

(a). The angular speed of the rotating is 33.8 rad/s.

(b). The speed of its center is 2.7 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 8.00 cm

Mass = 0.180 kg

Height = 75.0 m

We need to calculate the angular speed of the rotating

Using conservation of energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega_{1}^2+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{1}^{2}+mgh_{1}=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega_{2}^2+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{2}^{2}+mgh_{2}$

Here, initial velocity and angular velocity are equal to zero.

$mgh_{1}=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega_{2}^2+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{2}^{2}+mgh_{2}$

$mg(h_{1}-h_{2})=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega_{2}^2+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{2}^{2}$

$mgH=\dfrac{1}{2}mr^2\omega_{2}^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m(r\omega_{2})^2$

Here, $H = h_{1}-h_{2}$

$gH=r^2\omega_{2}^2$

$\omega_{2}^2=\dfrac{gH}{r^2}$

$\omega_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{9.8\times75.0\times10^{-2}}{(8.00\times10^{-2})^2}}$

$\omega_{2}=33.8\ rad/s$

The angular speed of the rotating is 33.8 rad/s.

(b). We need to calculate the speed of its center

Using formula of speed

$v=r\omega$

Put the value into the formula

$v=8.00\times10^{-2}\times33.8$

$v=2.7\ m/s$

Hence, (a). The angular speed of the rotating is 33.8 rad/s.

(b). The speed of its center is 2.7 m/s.

A beam of light strikes a sheet of glass at an angle of 56.6° with the normal in air. You observe that red light makes an angle

Yuri [45]

Answer:

(a). Index of refraction are $n_{red}$ = 1.344 & $n_{violet}$ = 1.406

(b). The velocity of red light in the glass $v_{red} =$ 2.23 × $10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}$

The velocity of violet light in the glass $v_{violet} =$ 2.13 × $10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

We know that

Law of reflection is

$n_1 \sin\theta_{1} = n_2 \sin\theta_{2}$

Here

$\theta_1$ = angle of incidence

$\theta_2$ = angle of refraction

(a). For red light

1 × $\sin 56.6$ = $n_{red}$ × $\sin 38.4$

$n_{red}$ = 1.344

For violet light

1 × $\sin 56.6$ = $n_{violet}$ × $\sin 36.4$

$n_{violet}$ = 1.406

(b). Index of refraction is given by

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

$n_{red}$ = 1.344

$v_{red} = \frac{c}{n_{red} }$

$v_{red} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.344}$

$v_{red} =$ 2.23 × $10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}$

This is the velocity of red light in the glass.

The velocity of violet light in the glass is given by

$v_{violet} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.406}$

$v_{violet} =$ 2.13 × $10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}$

This is the velocity of violet light in the glass.
