Name 2 ways that sound waves and electromagnetic waves are different. Describe specifically.

Physics
1 answer:
Vlad1618 [11]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:Sound waves are longitudinal waves that is, are transmitted in the same direction of oscillation of the particles in the medium. Electromagnetic waves are transverse ie, the electric and magnetic fields, which are perpendicular to each other, oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation.

Leona [35]

Answer:

15 deg

Explanation:

Assume both snowballs are thrown with the same initial speed 27.2 m/s. The first snowball is thrown at an angle of 75◦ above the horizontal. At what angle should you throw the second snowball to make it hit the same point as the first? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of ◦ .

Given:

For first ball, θ1 = 75◦

initial velocity for both the balls, u = 27.2 m/s

for second ball, θ2 = ?

since distance covered by both the balls is same.

Therefore,..

R1=(u^{2} sin2\alpha _{1}) /g[/tex]

the range for the first ball

the range for the second ball

R2=(u^{2} sin2\alpha _{2}) /g[/tex]

(u^{2} sin2\alpha _{2}) /g[/tex]=(u^{2} sin2\alpha _{1}) /g[/tex]

sin2\alpha _{2})=sin2\alpha _{1})

2\alpha _{2}=sin^-1(sin2\alpha _{1})

\alpha _{2}=1/2sin^-1(sin2\alpha _{1})

\alpha _{2}=

Two sinusoidal waves, which are identical except for a phase shift, travel along in the same direction. The wave equation of the
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

two sinusoidal waves, which are identical except for a phase shift, travel along in the same direction. The wave equation of the resultant wave is yR (x, t) = 0.70 m sin⎛ ⎝3.00 m−1 x − 6.28 s−1 t + π/16 rad⎞ ⎠ . What are the angular frequency, wave number, amplitude, and phase shift of the individual waves?

ω = 6.28 s − 1 ,

k = 3.00 m− 1 ,

φ = π rad,

A R = 2 A cos (φ 2 ) ,

A = 0.37 m

Explanation:

y1 ( x , t ) = A sin( k x − ω t +φ ) ,

y 2 ( x , t ) = A sin ( k x − ω t ) .

from the principle of superposition which states that when two or more waves combine, there resultant wave is the algebriac sum of the individual waves

y1 ( x , t ) = A sin( k x − ω t +φ ) ,   is generaL form of thw wave eqaution

A=amplitude

k=angular wave number

ω=angular frequency

φ =phase constant

k=2π/lambda

ω=2π/T

yR (x, t) = 0.70 m sin{3.00 m−1 x − 6.28 s−1 t + π/16 rad}....................*

two waves superposed to give the above, assuming they are moving in the +x direction

y1 ( x , t ) = A sin( k x − ω t +φ ) , .....................1

y 2 ( x , t ) = A sin ( k x − ω t ) ...........................2

adding the two equation will give

A sin( k x − ω t +φ )+A sin ( k x − ω t ) .................3

A( sin( k x − ω t +φ )+ sin ( k x − ω t ) ),......................4

similar to the following trigonometry identity

sina+sinb=2cos(a-b)/2sin(a+b)/2

let a= ( k x − ω t

b=k x − ω t +φ )

y(x,t)=2Acos(φ/2)sin(k x − ω t +φ/2)

k=3m^-1

lambda=2π/k=2.09m

ω=6.28= T=2π/6.28

T=1s

φ/2=π/16

φ=π/8rad

amplitude

2Acos(φ/2)=0.70 m

A=0.7/2cos(π/8)

A=0.37 m

Hooke's law states that the force, F, in a spring extended by a length x is given by
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

dimensions of k are  kg / s^2

Explanation:

F=ma   (Newton's second law)

F=-kx   (Hooke's law)

so equate both

-kx = ma

k = -ma/x

= mass * acceleration / distance  (dimensions, -1 has no dimension)

= kg * m/s^2 / m

= kg / s^2
