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.

The correct equation for the x component of a vector named A with an angle measured from the x axis would be which of the follow

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Acosθ

Explanation:

The x-component of a vector is defined as :

Magnitude * cosine of the angle

Maginitude * cosθ

The magnitude is represented as A

Hence, horizontal, x - component of the vector is :

Acosθ

Furthermore,

The y-component is taken as the sin of the of the angle multiplied by the magnitude

Vertical, y component : Asinθ
