What is meant by a transverse wave?

Physics

lianna [129]3 years ago
4 0
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. The animation below shows a one-dimensional transverse plane wave propagating from left to right. The particles do not move along with the wave; they simply oscillate up and down about their individual equilibrium positions as the wave passes by. Pick a single particle and watch its motion.

The S waves (Secondary waves) in an earthquake are examples of Transverse waves. S waves propagate with a velocity slower than P waves, arriving several seconds later.

garri49 [273]

Answer: Centripetal

Explanation: The centripetal force refers to the acting on a body moving in a circular path. This force acts in the direction of the center of rotation. The centripetal force is given by :

F = mv^2 / r

Where m = mass of th body

v. = Velocity

r = radius of the circular path.

For an object to move in a circular path, the force required is called the centripetal force. It is measured in Kgms^-2. It is directly proportional to the product of the Mass and square of it Velocity and varies inversely to the Radius of its path.

ipn [44]

Answer:

Plasma

Explanation:

A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is an outburst of energy that occurs near the outer part of the sun's atmosphere which causes a production of plasma along with a magnetic field.

The outermost part of the sun's atmosphere is called the Solar Corona Although difficult to see, the corona can be seen during a total solar eclipse.

Plasma from CME are clouds of magnetized electrically charged particles which the solar wind causes to travel at a speed of 1.6 million km/hr.
