Are light waves longitudinal or transverse

Physics
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

There are two types of waves, according to the direction of their oscillation:

- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves

- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

Light waves corresponds to the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes all the different types of electromagnetic waves (which consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave): therefore, they are transverse waves.

olasank [31]

Answer:

the ability of data to be duplicated well described reproducibility

Explanation:

Reproducibitity of a data is the ability of a data to be produced in multiple times using the same procedure. It is used to test how precise a data is and it's usually known as standard deviation

Reproducibility is the closeness of the understanding between the consequences of measurements of the equivalent measurand did with a similar procedure depicted in the relating logical proof (for example a distribution in a companion surveyed diary).

Kid A has jumped off the sled! (RIP)
balandron [24]

Answer:

46.45 m/s

Explanation:

Total momentum before jump = Total momentum after jump

11.7 * ( 36.7 + 45.2 ) = ( 36.7 * (-31.1) ) + ( 45.2 * v )

v*45.2 - 1141.37 = 958.23

v = 2099.6/45.2 = 46.45

20 POINTS PLUS BRAINLIEST What work is done by a system on its environment when an ideal gas is maintained at a constant pressur
Oliga [24]

Say you have 60 cubic meters of an ideal gas at a pressure of 200 pascals. You heat the gas until it expands to a volume of 120 cubic meters. How much work does the gas do? All you have to do is plug in the numbers:

The gas does 12,000 joules of work as it expands under constant pressure.
