Answer:

  • Yes.

Explanation:

A particular solution for the 1D wave equation has the form

\Psi(x,t) \ = \ A \ sin ( \ k x \ + \omega t \ + \phi \ )

where A its the amplitude, k the wavenumber, ω the angular frequency and φ the phase angle.

Now, for any given position x_0, we can use:

\phi_0 \ = \ \phi \ + \ k x_0

so, the equation its:

\Psi(x_0,t) \ = \ A \ sin ( \omega t \ + \ \phi_0 ).

This is the equation for a simple harmonic oscillation!

So, for any given point, we can use a simple harmonic oscillation as visual model. Now, when we move a \delta distance from the original position, we got:

x_1 = x_0 + \delta

and

\phi_1 = \phi  \ + k x_1

now, this its

\phi_1 = \phi  \ + k ( x_0 + \delta)

\phi_1 = \phi  \ + k  x_0 + k \delta

\phi_1 = \phi_0 + k \delta

So, there its a phase angle difference of k \delta. We can model this simply by starting the simple harmonic oscillation with a different phase angle.

What are three properties of electromagnetic waves?
Zolol [24]

The three properties of electromagnetic waves are; they travel at the speed of light, they include ultraviolet waves, and they can transfer energy through empty space.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>A wave</h3>
  • A wave is a transmission of a disturbance. It involves transmission of energy from one point which is the source to another point.
  • Waves may be classified depending on the need for a transmission medium or based on the vibration of particles relative to the direction of wave motion.
  • Waves may be either transverse or longitudinal based on the direction of wave motion relative to the vibration of particles
  • Additionally waves may be classified as either electromagnetic wave or mechanical based on the need for a transmission medium.
<h3>Electromagnetic waves  </h3>
  • Electromagnetic waves are types of waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
  • All waves of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic transverse waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
  • They include; radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra-violet, x-rays, and gamma rays.
  • All waves of the electromagnetic spectrum travel with a speed of light, 3.0 x10^8 m/s.
  • Additionally, electromagnetic waves possess energy that is given by; E = hf; where h is the plank's constant and f is the frequency.

A circuit consists of a resistance R, and an inductance L in parallel connected, which is in series with a second resistance R2.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The impedance of the inductor is ω L:

This is in parallel wth R giving a resistance of the parallel combination:

1 / Rp = 1 / ω L + 1 / R

Rp = (ω L * R) / (ω L + R)      for the impedance of the parallel combination

Total resistance (impedance) Rt = Rp + R2 = Z

One can use the term impedance to show that the resulting current is not in phase with the resulting voltage    

phase angle φ -    cos φ  = ω L / Rt

V = I Z        shows the relation of voltage and urrent

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Average current produced by the repeated transfer of charge is 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ ampere

Explanation:

The formula to be used here is

Q = It

where Q is the quantity of electricity and it is measured coulombs (C); 2.8 × 10⁻⁸ C or 0.000000028 C

I is current and it is measured in ampere (amps or A); unknown

t is time and it is measured in seconds (s); 0.05 s

Since, average current is what is unknown

I =Q/t

I = 0.000000028/0.05

I = 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ A

Average current produced by the repeated transfer of charge is 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ ampere

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

9 ft*lb

Explanation:

super simple but you just have to understand that the integral is going with the curve

work = integral a to b of f(x)dx = integral 0 to 9 of 10/(1+x)^2dx = 9ft*lb
