A. In your own words, define what a longitudinal wave is.

Physics
1 answer:
Stella [2.4K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Longitudinal wave is a type of wave in which the the movement of the wave particle is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This simply means that the wave particles is in the same or opposite direction to the wave propagation.

B. Sound waves- These are longitudinal waves because its medium particles through which the sound is transported oscillates parallel to the direction of the movement of the sound wave.

How do scientists use the Doppler effect to understand the universe?
professor190 [17]
There's a very subtle thing going on here, one that could blow your mind.

Wherever we look in the universe, no matter what direction we look,
we see the light from distant galaxies arriving at our telescopes with
longer wavelengths than the light SHOULD have.

The only way we know of right now that can cause light waves to get
longer after they leave the source is motion of the source away from
the observer. The lengthening of the waves on account of that motion
is called the Doppler effect.  (The answer to the question is choice-c.)

But that may not be the only way that light waves can get stretched.  It's
the only way we know of so far, and so we say that the distant galaxies
are all moving away from us. 

From that, we say the whole universe is expanding, and that right there is
one of the strongest observations that we explain with the Big Bang theory
of creation.

Now:  If ... say tomorrow ... a competent Physicist discovers another way
for light waves to get stretched after they leave the source, then the whole
"expanding universe" idea is out the window, and probably the Big Bang
theory along with it !


Now that our mind has been blown, come back down to Earth with me,
and I'll give you something else to think about:

It's true that when we look at distant galaxies, we do see their light
arriving in our telescopes with longer wavelengths than it should have.
And then we use the Doppler effect to calculate how fast that galaxy
is moving away from us.  That's all true.  Astronomers are doing it
every day.                                   I mean every night.

So here's the question for you to think about ... maybe even READ about:

When the light from a distant galaxy pours into our telescope, and we
look at it, and we measure its wavelength, and we find that the wavelength
is longer than it should be ... how do we know what it should be ? ? ?

Why is a protective apron or lab coat important to use when working with acids?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

Explanation:

A protective apron or lab coat is important when working with acids because acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

  • An acid is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions in an aqueous solution.
  • A strong acid ionizes completely in solution.
  • When they come in contact with a fabric, they break them down violently.
  • So, if they come in contact with the skin, it causes a violent break down of body tissues.
  • The apron acts a protective layer.
