What measures the amount of displacement in a transverse wave

1 answer:

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.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the reference origin be location of ship B in the beginning. We can then create the equation of motion for ship A and ship B in term of time t (hour):

A = 12 - 12t

B = 9t

Since the 2 ship motions are perpendicular with each other, we can calculate the distance between 2 ships in term of t

$d = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2} = \sqrt{(12 - 12t)^2 + (9t)^2}$
