What measures the amount of displacement in a transverse wave

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.

Determine the values of m and n when the following average distance from the Sun to the Earth is written in scientific notation:

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

$150000000000\ m=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m$

Explanation:

A number can be written in the form of :

$N=m\times 10^n$

Where

m is the real number

n is any integer

In this case, the average distance from the Sun to the Earth is given,

d = 150000000000 meters

There are 10 zeroes in this number. We need to write this number in scientific notation. It is given by :

$d=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m$

So, the average distance from the Sun to the Earth is $d=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A factory emits pollutants at a rate of 25 g/s. The factory is located between two mountain ranges resulting in an effective val

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

$1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3$

Explanation:

v = Velocity of the breeze = 4 m/s

w = Width of the valley = 5000 m

h = Height of the valley = 1000 m

Volumetric flow rate is given by

$\dot{V}=vwh\\\Rightarrow \dot{V}=4\times 5000\times 1000\\\Rightarrow \dot{V}=2\times10^{7}\ \text{m}^3/\text{s}$

$\dot{m}$ = Mass flow rate of pollutant = 25 g/s = $25\times 10^6\ \mu\text{g/s}$

Concentration is given by

$C=\dfrac{\dot{m}}{\dot{V}}\\\Rightarrow C=\dfrac{25\times 10^6}{2\times 10^7}\\\Rightarrow C=1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3$

The steady state concentration of pollutants in the valley, is $1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3$ .
