Distinguishing sound and electromagnetic waves

Electromagnetic waves are not mechanical and transverse in nature, while

Sound waves are mechanical and longitudinal

Explanation:

In physics, waves are classified into two types:

  • Mechanical waves are those where the vibration is produced by the vibrations of the particles in a medium, therefore they need a medium to propagate
  • Electromagnetic waves are those produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic fields; they do not a medium to propagate, since they can travel through a vacuum

Moreover, depending on the direction of the vibration, waves are further classified into:

  • Transverse waves: those where the direction of the vibration is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave
  • Longitudinal waves: those where the direction of the vibration is parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave

Electromagnetic waves are not mechanical and transverse in nature (the oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields occur in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the wave), while

Sound waves are mechanical and longitudinal (the vibrations of the particles of the medium is back-and-forth along the direction of propagation of the wave)

A 15.0-μF capacitor is charged by a 130.0-V power supply, then disconnected from the power and connected in series with a 0.280-
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

The resonant frequency of a circuit is the frequency \omega_0 at which the equivalent impedance of a circuit is purely real (the imaginary part is null).

Mathematically this frequency is described as

f = \frac{1}{2\pi}(\sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}})

Where

L = Inductance

C = Capacitance

Our values are given as

C = 15*10^{-6}\mu F

L = 0.280*10^{-3}mH

Replacing we have,

f = \frac{1}{2\pi}(\sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}})

f = \frac{1}{2\pi}(\sqrt{\frac{1}{(15*10^{-6})(0.280*10^{-3})}})

f= 2455.81Hz

From this relationship we can also appreciate that the resonance frequency infers the maximum related transfer in the system and that therefore given an input a maximum output is obtained.

For this particular case, the smaller the capacitance and inductance values, the higher the frequency obtained is likely to be.

Quentin is playing baseball and is batting. He swings and hits the ball sending it flying to the outfield. Which is greater- the
Bess [88]

Answer:

The force of the ball on the bat is same as the force of the bat on the ball.  

Explanation:

A bat hits the ball and the ball moves to the out filed.

According to the Newton's third law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The action and the reaction forces acts on the two different bodies but the magnitude of the force is same.  

As the ball is hitted by the bat, the bat exerts the force on the ball and the same force is exerted on the bat by the ball according to the Newton's third law.

So, the force of the ball on the bat is same as the force of the bat on the ball but the direction of force is opposite.
