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.

A river is flowing south at a rate of 3 m/s. Steven can roe directly across the river if he aims the raft 30 degrees. What rate
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Steven has to row at a speed to reach the same horizontal spot at the other side of the river is, V = 6 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The river flowing south at the rate, v = 3 m/s

To reach the other side directly across the river, he aims the raft, Ф = 30°

The speed of his raft across the river is given by the formula,

                                          V = v / Sin Ф

                                             = 3 / Sin 30°

                                              = 6 m/s

Steven has to row at a speed to reach the same horizontal spot at the other side of the river is, V = 6 m/s

This type of polarization occurs when light strikes the atoms of a material.
zloy xaker [14]

Option C i.e scattering is the correct answer.

Scattering type of Polarization occurs when light strikes the atoms of a material.

Polarization is the process of transforming unpolarized light into polarized light. There are four methods of polarisation--Transmission, Refraction, Reflaction and Scattering.
