Answer:

A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, the oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position.

shusha [124]

Answer:

Two.

Explanation:

A standing wave or stationary wave are the type of wave in which it oscillates with time but the amplitude does not move.

One complete wave consists of two loops.
It means that when the receiver moves through one cycle, two maxima of standing wave pattern the receiver pass through.

astra-53 [7]

Explanation:

We often refer to the electricity at a typical household outlet as being 120 V. In fact, the voltage of this AC source varies; the 120 V is "the rms value of the voltage".

The rms value of voltage is given by :

$V_{rms}=\dfrac{V_{pk}}{\sqrt{2}}$

Where

$v_{pk}$ is the peak value of voltage

So, the correct option is (d). " rms value of voltage".
