The correct answer to the question is : Transverse wave.

EXPLANATION :

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand the longitudinal and transverse wave.

LONGITUDINAL WAVE : A longitudinal wave is a mechanical wave in which the direction of vibration of particles is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. It moves in the form of compression and rarefaction.

For instance, sound wave.

TRANSVERSE WAVE : A transverse wave is a mechanical wave in which the direction of vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. It moves in the form of crests and troughs.

For instance, the wave created in a pond when a stone is dropped into it.

Hence, the correct answer of this question is transverse wave.

Answer:

$u=34cm$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Far point is $V=34 cm$

Near point is $u=17 cm$

Therefore

Focal Length

$f=-34cm$

Generally the equation for the Lens is mathematically given by

$\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{v}$

$\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{-34}-\frac{1}{-17}$

$u=34cm$

Ethanethiol (; also called ethyl mercaptan) is commonly added to natural gas to provide the ""rotten egg"" smell of a gas leak.

Answer:

S = 27500J / 308.15molK

Explanation:

Entropy measures the degree of disorganization of a system. It is measured in the entropy change that is equal to the heat exchanged divided by the temperature at which the process occurs.

S2-S1 = Q / T

S = entropy

Q = heat = 27.5 kJ / mol * 1000J / 1KJ = 27500J / mol

T = temperature = 35 + 273.15 = 308.15K

units = J / molK

S = 27500J / 308.15molK
