Transverse Waves: Displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
To understand this it is good to think of a rope being held still by person B and being moved up and down by person A. The direction of propagation is from person A to B, so you will see the waves move along this way. But the displacement will be up and down.
Can travel in solids, but not in liquids and gas.
eg. Electromagnetic radiation
Longitudinal Waves: Displacement of the medium is parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.
A good example for this is a slinky being pushed along the table, the propagation will be along the table and so will the displacement of all the 'rings'.
Can travel through all states of matter.
eg. Sound waves
Answer:
groups
Explanation:
vertical sections are called groups
Answer:
The two waves will add vectorially to produce a small amplitude wave in a valley phase.
Explanation:
The two waves will add vectorially to produce a small amplitude wave in a valley phase. This is because the amplitudes of the waves are slightly different and in opposite directions. When wave 1 cancels out all of wave 2, the resultant wave would be the slight difference between both waves, and it would be in the direction of wave 1 which is a valley phase.
Here is your answer
We know that
Velocity = Wavelength/Time period
Here,
Wavelength = 200m
Time period= 20 secs
So,
Velocity= 200/20 m/s
v= 10m/s

Answer:
v=0.94 m/s
Explanation:
Given that
M= 5.67 kg
k= 150 N/m
m=1 kg
μ = 0.45
The maximum acceleration of upper block can be μ g.
a= μ g ( g = 10 m/s²)
The maximum acceleration of system will ω²X.
ω = natural frequency
X=maximum displacement
For top stop slipping
μ g =ω²X
We know for spring mass system natural frequency given as
By putting the values
ω = 4.47 rad/s
μ g =ω²X
By putting the values
0.45 x 10 = 4.47² X
X = 0.2 m
From energy conservation
150 x 0.2²=6.67 v²
v=0.94 m/s
This is the maximum speed of system.
