Are radio waves transverse or longitudinal

Physics
1 answer:
Slav-nsk [51]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

There are two types of waves, depending on the direction of the oscillation:

- Transverse wave: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave - examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves

- Longitudinal wave: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave - examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves

Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic waves - consisting of oscillations of electric and magnetic field that propagate in a vacuum at the speed of light - so they are an example of transverse wave.

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Right shoe

Explanation:

Let the mass and velocity of incoming puck be m and v respectively.

Momentum of the colliding puck will be mv

In case of first case , the momentum of puck becomes zero so change in momentum after collision with left shoe

= mv - 0 = mv

If time duration of collision be t

rate of change of momentum

= mv / t

This is the force exerted by puck on the left shoe .

Now let us consider collision with right shoe

momentum after collision with right  shoe

- mv

change in momentum

= mv - ( - mv ) = 2mv

If time duration of collision be t

rate of change of momentum

= 2mv / t

This is the force exerted by puck on the right  shoe .

Since the force on the right shoe is more , this shoe will have greater speed

after collision.

I don't think that's exactly what this website is here for. / / / The average current = 30 C / 120 sec = 250 mA. / / / 1 volt = 1 joule/coulomb ... 30 C x 1.5 x 10^6 J/C = 4.5 x 10^7 joules per stroke. / / / Apoligies for the formatting. Some websites recognize a CR-LF from a mobile device, and others don't.
