If the amplitude of a wave is 4 feet, what is the Wave Height?

2 answers:

5 0

A wave is a disturbance that moves along a medium from one end to the other. If one watches an ocean wave moving along the medium (the ocean water), one can observe that the crest of the wave is moving from one location to another over a given interval of time. The crest is observed to cover distance. The speed of an object refers to how fast an object is moving and is usually expressed as the distance traveled per time of travel. In the case of a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given interval of time. In equation form,

Explanation :

The height of the wave is defined as the elevation of the crest minus the elevation of the trough.

The wave height is defined as the twice of the amplitude.

It is given that the amplitude of the wave is 4 feet. The height of the wave is given as :

$H=2a$

Where a is the amplitude of the wave.

So, H = 8 feet.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Oooooo there's a spongy bone? that's cool! Lol okay okay, I will research it and help you out.

Here's what I found:

Cancellous bone, also known as spongy or trabecular bone, is one of the two types of bone tissue found in the human body. ... It is very porous and contains red bonemarrow, where blood cells are made.

A string that is 3.6 m long is tied between two posts and plucked. The string produces a wave that has a frequency of 320 Hz and

marin [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to wavelength depending on the frequency and speed. Mathematically, the wavelength can be expressed as

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$

Where,

v = Velocity

f = Frequency,

Our values are given as

L = 3.6m

v= 192m/s

f= 320Hz

Replacing we have that

$\lambda = \frac{192}{320}$

$\lambda = 0.6m$

The total number of 'wavelengths' that will be in the string will be subject to the total length over the size of each of these undulations, that is,

$N = \frac{L}{\lambda}$

$N = \frac{3.6}{0.6}$

$N = 6$

Therefore the number of wavelengths of the wave fit on the string is 6.

Explain how astronomers might use spectroscopy to determine the composition and temperature of a star.

Damm [24]

Everything starts from spectroscopy. Astronomers only have concentrated information at wavelengths that are emitted from the stars. What they do with this information is to obtain the frequency range of the stars and through spectroscopes they are responsible for dividing the radiation beams and determining the coincidence with the emission of those same waves, of chemical elements. From these observation techniques it is possible to obtain the composition and according to the color, obtaining characteristics such as temperature. The spectrum of stars consists of dark and bright lines called Fraunhofer lines. This spectrum is compared to the spectrum of different elements to find the composition of the stars. This is possible because the elements emit or absorb only specific wavelengths.
