Answer:  Longitudinal wave

Explanation:

Longitudinal wave are the oscillations that are parallel to the direction of energy transfer that means the vibrations are in line with the direction where the energy is travelling.

A key feature of sound wave is that they cause sound particles to vibrate. The region where the particles are close together are called compressions and regions where particles are further apart they are called rarefactions.  

The other options explanation:

-Transverse waves are where the oscillations are perpendicular to the energy of transfer.

-A standing wave is where the waves are travelling back and forth where there are some fixed points in the system whilst other vibrate with highest amplitude  

-Surface waves have both the characteristics of longitudinal and transverse waves

Electrical energy is used to turn the blades of a fan. The amount of energy transformed is seen here: 750 j electrical energy is
MAVERICK [17]

Here is the energy that is left after the quantity of energy is transformed: 750 j of electrical energy is changed into 400 j of kinetic or mechanical energy, which is then turned into 0.32 j of efficient energy.

To run the fan, electrical energy is utilized.

Here, under the specified circumstances, 750 J of electrical energy is utilized to operate the fan, which is transformed into 400 J of kinetic energy. As a result, 350 J of energy is wasted due to various frictional and resistive losses.

Therefore, we may conclude that only 400 J of the 750 J available energy is used to power the fan, with the remaining energy being wasted as a result of friction.

Additionally, we can state that this fan's effectiveness will be

n = Useful ÷ Total

n = 400 ÷ 750

n = 8 ÷ 25

n = 0.32

Calculate the minimum thickness (in nm) of an oil slick on water that appears blue when illuminated by white light perpendicular
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The minimum thickness = 83.92 nm

Explanation:

The relation between the wavelength in a particular medium and refractive index \lambda_n = \frac{ \lambda }{n}

where ;

\lambda = wavelength of the light in vacuum

n = refractive index of medium with respect to vacuum

For one phase change :

2t = \frac{\lambda_n}{2}\\\\where \ \lambda_n = \frac{\lambda}{n}\\\\Then \ \\\\2t = \frac{\lambda}{2n}\\\\t = \frac{\lambda_n}{4n}

Replacing 1.43 for n and 480 nm for λ; we have:

t = \frac{480}{4(1.43)}

t = 83.92 nm

Thus; the minimum thickness = 83.92 nm

A bugle can be thought of as an open-end pipe. If a bugle were straightened out, it would be 2.65 m long. a. If the speed of sou
vitfil [10]

Answer

given,

Length of pipe, L = 2.65 m

speed of sound, v = 343 m/s

Pipe is open end Pipe

a) Lowest frequency

  condition, for open end pipe

     \lambda_1 = 2 L

     \lambda_1 = 2\times 2.65  

     \lambda_1= 5.30 m

   For lowest frequency

    f_1 = n\dfrac{v}{\lambda_1}

     n = 1

    f_1 = \dfrac{343}{5.30}

           f₁ = 64.72 Hz

b) For second frequency in bugle

        n = 2

   f_2 =2\times \dfrac{343}{5.30}

          f₂ = 129.43 Hz

   for n = 3

   f_3 =3\times \dfrac{343}{5.30}

          f₃ = 194.16 Hz
