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.

What is carbon dating

Tom [10]

the determination of the age or date of organic matter from the relative proportions of the carbon isotopes carbon-12 and carbon-14 that it contains. The ratio between them changes as radioactive carbon-14 decays and is not replaced by exchange with the atmosphere.

Wave-particle duality tells us that wave and particle models apply to all objects whatever the size, so why don't we observe wav

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Because the wavelengths of macroscopic objects are too short for them to be detectable.

Explanation:

Wavelength of an object is given by de Broglie wavelength as:

$\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}$

Where, 'h' is Planck's constant, 'm' is mass of object and 'v' is its velocity.

So, for macroscopic objects, the mass is very large compared to microscopic objects. As we can observe from the above formula, there is an inverse relationship between the mass and wavelength of the object.

So, for vary larger masses, the wavelength would be too short and one will find it undetectable. Therefore, we don't observe wave properties in macroscopic objects.
