What is the main difference between a longitudinal wave and a transverse wave? a longitudinal wave travels faster than a transve

rse wave. a transverse wave always has a larger amplitude than a longitudinal wave. the motion of the medium is parallel to a longitudinal wave and perpendicular to a transverse wave. the frequency is directly proportional to wavelength in a longitudinal wave but inversely proportional in a transverse wave.?

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is the motion of the medium is parallel to a longitudinal wave and perpendicular to a transverse wave.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are two main types of waves:

1. Transverse Waves: These waves are the waves where the particles in a medium travel perpendicular to the direction of the wave. These waves do not require a medium to travel and can travel in vacuum also. For Example: Light waves.

2. Longitudinal waves: These waves are the waves where the particles of the medium travel parallel to the direction of the wave and these waves require a medium to travel and hence, cannot travel in vacuum. For Example: Sound waves.

From the given options, the correct answer is  the motion of the medium is parallel to a longitudinal wave and perpendicular to a transverse wave.

True or false the refraction of a wave is how many wavelengths pass a fixed point each second
Ksenya-84 [330]
False. That description fits the wave's 'frequency'. 
It has nothing to do with refraction.

timama [110]
If the gravitational force were<span> decreased by half, there would be lack of gravity on earth. Hence, it would basically affect the velocity, speed, and the distance travelled in any direction by basketball players and the ball. The basketball would bounce higher and come down in a slower speed. Whereas for the players, they would be able to leap higher from the floor.</span><span> </span>

The second minimum in the diffraction pattern of a 0.11-mm-wide slit occurs at 0.72°. What is the wavelength of the light?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

691.13 nm

Explanation:

d = width of the slit = 0.11 x 10⁻³ m

θ = angle of diffraction pattern = 0.72° degree

λ = wavelength of the light = ?

m = order = 2                              (since second minimum)

for the second minimum diffraction pattern we use the equation

d Sinθ = m λ

Inserting the values

(0.11 x 10⁻³) Sin0.72 = (2) λ

λ = 691.13 x 10⁻⁹ m

λ = 691.13 nm
