What measures the amount of displacement in a transverse wave

Physics
1 answer:
MAVERICK [17]3 years ago
4 0
Unlike a longitudinal wave, a transverse wave moves about, perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The particles in a transverse wave do not travel along the direction of propagation, but only oscillate up and down on its equilibrium position. With this, the displacement can be determined by measuring (in the case of electronic waves, using an oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer) and setting the desired units to measure the wave in.

A heavy object and a light object are dropped from the same height. If we neglect air resistance, which will hit the ground firs
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

None, both objects will hit ground at the same time.

Explanation:

  • Assuming no air resistance present, and that both objects start from rest, we can apply the following kinematic equation for the vertical displacement:

        \Delta h = \frac{1}{2}*g*t^{2}  (1)

  • As the left side in (1) is the same for both objects, the right side will be the same also.
  • Since g is constant close to the surface of the Earth, it's also the same for both objects.
  • So, the time t must be the same for both objects also.
