Answer:

C. The decrease in speed as the wave approaches shore.

Explanation:

The waves break when approaching the shore because the depth decreases. Thus, the wave travels more slowly and increases its height. There comes a time when the part of the wave on the surface travels faster than the one that travels under water, the ridge destabilizes and falls against the ground.

Answer:

Explanation:

A tsunami is a series of successive ocean waves usually caused by landslide, earthquake or volcanic eruption. The speed of a tsunami decreases and its height increases as it moves from the deep part of a water body to the shallow part (e.g shore) of the water body. In other words, for a tsunami, the deeper the water, the slower its speed and consequently the higher it grows. Therefore it is safe to say that an increase in the height of a tsunami as it approaches a shore is due to the decrease in speed as the wave approaches the shore.

Which phenomena support only the wave theory of light? Check all that apply.

eduard

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Diffraction
interference

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Light may have both wave or particle properties.

According to wave theory of light, light behaves like a wave. Light is an electromagnetic wave which means it does not require a material medium for transmission. Just like electromagnetic waves light possess both magnetic field and electric fields.

Light waves displays a transverse type of a wave in which it oscillates in a similar direction as that of the wave travel. Due to these characteristics of a wave light can undergo diffraction and also interference.

Please help me with physics ks3!! Sound waves and hearding (pic incl)

Nina [5.8K]

Your answers for a), b), and c) are correct. Good work !

d). The high noise levels in Technology and PE are more of
a concern to the teachers than to the students because the
students are only in there for 1 or 2 periods a day, but the
Technology and PE teachers are in there ALL day.

e). Mr. Jones can't hear as high frequency as Jenny can because
he is much older than Jenny is. Sadly, even without damage due to
loud noise, the ability to hear high frequencies does decrease with age.

f). The wooden surfaces in the gym cause the gym to be louder
than it would be if it had carpet on the floor. Carpet ... and soft
walls and ceilings ... absorb a lot of the sound that hits them.
But hard surfaces don't absorb much of the sound that hits them,
so it just keeps bouncing around until it finally fades away.

You can see this easily ... just go into the gym at your school, clap
your hands once, and notice how long you keep hearing the sound
after you clap.
