DaniilM [7]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

the pressure fluctuation is LONGITUDINAL

Explanation:

Sound waves are an oscillating movement of air particles, this can be analyzed in two different, but equivalent ways, as an air oscillation and with a pressure wave due to these oscillations.

The expression for the wave is

        ΔP = Δo sin (kx - wt)

Therefore, the pressure variation is in the same direction as the displacement variation, consequently the pressure fluctuation is LONGITUDINAL

Sonja [21]

Answer:

10.16 degrees

Explanation:

Apply Snells Law for both wavelenghts

\(n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}\)

For red

(1.620)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin r)

For red, the angle is 35.45degrees

For violet

(1.660)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin v)

For violet, the angle is 45.6 degrees

The difference is 45.6- 35.45 = 10.16 degrees
