The steps in the heating of a metal seat in a park are:
Step 1: Heat travels from the sun to Earth
Step 2: Heat travels through atmosphere to the top of the seat
Step 3: Heat from the top of the seat travels through the seat to the lower parts of the seat.
-- Heat is transferred by radiation in Step 1 and Step 2. <em>(B)</em>
-- From the top of the seat to the bottom, heat is transferred by conduction.
There's no convection happening anywhere in the park-hot-seat scenario.
Gravitational potential energy -> Kinetic energy -> Mechanical energy -> Electrical energy.
The water starts up (potential) and flows down (kinetic), the flowing water turns a big wheel (mechanical) which creates electricity (electrical).
when wave propagate through the medium the medium particles have two type of possible motions
1) Transverse Waves : here medium particles will move perpendicular to wave propagation and they pull and push perpendicular to the length
2) Longitudinal wave : here medium particles will move to and fro along the length of the medium and the medium particles will push and pull together along the length of the string.
So here in two types of wave motion it will depends on the medium type as well as it will depend on the source how is wave produced.
So the given type of wave in which particles push together and pull apart the wave must be longitudinal wave.
