when wave propagate through the medium the medium particles have two type of possible motions

1) Transverse Waves : here medium particles will move perpendicular to wave propagation and they pull and push perpendicular to the length

2) Longitudinal wave : here medium particles will move to and fro along the length of the medium and the medium particles will push and pull together along the length of the string.

So here in two types of wave motion it will depends on the medium type as well as it will depend on the source how is wave produced.

So the given type of wave in which particles push together and pull apart the wave must be longitudinal wave.

Answer:

b) 0.1 mm

Explanation:

Given that

E= 1 x 10¹⁰ N/m²

F= 4 N

d= 0.5 mm

L = 60 mm

We know that elongation due to force F given as

$\Delta L=\dfrac{FL}{AE}$

$\Delta L=\dfrac{FL}{\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}\times E}$

$\Delta L=\dfrac{4\times 60}{\dfrac{\pi \times 0.5^2}{4}\times 10^4}$

ΔL = 0.12 mm

Therefore the answer is -

b) 0.1 mm

Does hot water or cold water boil faster is that repeated observations using models are controlled experiments

lozanna [386]

Hot water boils faster since its already hot and dosnt take much more time to get as hot

1. 3 main components of a circuit

siniylev [52]

Voltage, resistance and current are the three components that must be present for a circuit to exist. A circuit will not be able to function without these three components. Voltage is the main electrical source that is present in a circuit. :)
