Answer:

1.) Longitudinal waves

2.) Transverse waves

3.) Longitudinal waves

Explanation:

The sound of one whale calling another whale underwater. is a longitudinal wave since the medium, in this case the body of water, is vibrating parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

A pulse sent down a stretched rope by snapping one end of it. ( transverse wave) because its oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave or path of propagation

The vibrations in a guitar string

Longitudinal wave. Because its oscillations are parallel to the direction of the wave or path of propagation

Una cuerda horizontal tiene una longitud de 5 m y masa de 0,00145 kg. Si sobre esta cuerda se da un pulso generando una longitud

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

A horizontal rope has a length of 5 m and a mass of 0.00145 kg. If a pulse occurs on this string, generating a wavelength of 0.6 m and a frequency of 120 Hz. The tension to which the string is subjected is

mass of string, m = 0.00145 kg

Frequency, f = 120 Hz

wavelength = 0.6 m

Speed = frequency x wavelength

speed = 120 x 0.6 = 72 m/s

Let the tension is T.

Use the formula

$v =\sqrt\frac{T L}{m}\\\\72 = \sqrt\frac{T\times 5}{0.00145}\\\\T = 1.5 N$

Option (A) is correct.

Speed=100m/sec<br> Frequency=10 Hz<br> Wavelength=?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Wavelength = 10 m

Explanation:

Given:

Speed = 100 m $s^{-1}$

Frequency = 10 Hz = 10 $s^{-1}$

To find : Wavelength = ?

We know that the relationship between wavelength λ, frequency f and speed v is given by the equation

v = fλ

Therefore wavelength λ = v/f

= 100 m $s^{-1}$ / 10 m $s^{-1}$

= 10 m

Hence wavelength = 10 m
