Compare and contrast the two different types of mechanical waves?

Physics

prohojiy [21]3 years ago

There are longitudinal and transverse.  Both types of mechanical waves require a medium, transport energy, and have defined wavelengths, frequencies, and speeds.
Differences are that transverse waves oscillate along a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel (like shaking a rope up and down).  Longitudinal waves like oscillations along a spring and sound waves, oscillate back and forth along the direction of travel.

The pressure and volume of a fixed mass of gas _ are related. if one decreases, the other ___ ___ this relationship is known as
mihalych1998 [28]
1) Inversely
2) increases
3) Boyle's
4) mass
5) Kelvin
6) Charles's
7) Gay-Lussac's
8) directly
9) combined
10) the amount

<span>The pressure and volume of a fixed mass of gas are inversely related. If one decreases, the other increases. This relationship is known as Boyle's law. The volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to its kelvin temperature. This relationship is known as Charles's law. Gay-Lussac's law states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature if the volume remains constant. These three separate gas laws can be written as a single expression called the combined gas law. It can be used in situations in which only the amount of gas is constant. </span>
