A transverse wave is a wave is a wave in which the particles in the medium oscillate in a direction that is perpendicular or at 90 degrees to the direction in which the wave propagates. Light waves or electromagnetic waves are a good example of transverse waves. When an electromagnetic wave propagates, the medium in which it propagates vibrates in a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel.

A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium oscillate in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave is travelling.  Sound waves are good examples of longitudinal waves. When sound propagates, the particles of the medium which it travels through will vibrate in the direction in which the wave is travelling.

                                         Similarities

  • Both transverse and longitudinal waves carry energy.
  • Both transverse and longitudinal waves obey the wave equation.
  • Both transverse and longitudinal waves show behavior such as refraction, reflection, absorption, diffraction, etc.

                                          Differences

The main difference is that for longitudinal waves, the particles in the medium will vibrate in the direction of the wave and that for transverse waves, the motion of the particles in the medium is in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

A brick of pure silver is divided into 4 pieces of equal size. Compared to the original brick, the density of each piece is ____
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

brick of pure silver is divided into 4 pieces of equal size. Compared to the original brick, the density of each piece is _____.

:- the same

Explanation:

Density of the substance is the mass per unit volume of the substance.

Density =\frac{mass}{volume}

Let the original mass of the brick = m

let the volume of the brick = V

Density =\frac{m}{V}

when A brick of pure silver is divided into 4 pieces of equal size.Its mass become 1/4 time the original mass and volume also become 1/4

New mass = 1/4 m

Volume = 1/4  V

Density =\frac{m/4}{V/4}

4 and 4 cancel each other

Density =\frac{m}{V}

Hence, <u>No change in density</u> of the brick will occur if we divide into for equal pieces.

Such quantities are called Intensive properties .

Intensive property : Which does not depend on the quantity of the matter .example : Temperature , density ,specific Heat capacity.

There is no effect of change of either mass or volume on density.

A chemistry teacher spends 35 minutes grading 1 students lab. They have 153 students who turn in lab papers for each lab. If the
natta225 [31]

Answer:

13,3875 minutes or 2,231.25 hours

Explanation:

153 x 25 = 3,825

person x lab paper = all the lab papers turned in.

35 x 3,825 = 13,3875

minutes x all the lab papers turned in = amount of minutes spent on grading

0.6 sample an unknown organic acid found in muscle cells is burned in air and found to contain 0.24g of carbon, 0.04g of hydroge
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Molecular formula is, C₃H₆O₃

Empirical formula (with the lowest subscript) → CH₂O

Explanation:

We assume that the organic acid's mass is 0.6 g. We know that, in 0.6 g of compound we have 0.24 g of C and 0.04 g of H, then, we have

(0.6 - 0.24 - 0.04) = 0.32 g of O.

We determine each mol:

0.24 g /12 g/mol = 0.02 mol of C

0.04 g/ 1g/mol = 0.04 mol of H

0.32 g/ 16 g/mol = 0.02 mol of O

1 mol of acid weighs 90 g/mol.

In 0.6 g of acid, we have, (0.6 g / 90g/mol) = 0.0067 moles

Let's find out the formula with rules of three:

0.00667 mol of acid have 0.02 moles of C

1 mol of acid may have (0.02 /0.00667) = 3 mol of C

0.00667 mol of acid have 0.04 moles of H

1 mol of acid may have (0.04 /0.00667) =  6 mol of H

0.00667 mol of acid have 0.02 moles of O

1 mol of acid may have (0.02 /0.00667) = 3 mol of O

Molecular formula is, C₃H₆O₃

We confirm by the molar mass: 12g/mol . 3 + 6 . 1g/mol + 32g/mol . 3 = 90

Empirical formula (with the lowest subscript) → CH₂O
