Answer:

Transverse wave

Explanation:

Depending on the direction of the oscillation, there are two types of waves:

- Transverse wave: in a transverse wave, the oscillation occurs in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. These types of waves are characterized by alternating crests and troughs. Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves.

- Longitudinal wave: in a longitudinal wave, the oscillation occurs in a direction parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave. These types of waves are characterized by alternating regions of higher density (compressions) and lower density (rarefactions). Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

Two boats - Boat A and Boat B - are anchored a distance of 24 meters apart. The incoming water waves force the boats to oscillat

ozzi

Answer:

wavelength = 24 m

Period = 10 s

f = 0.1 Hz

Amplitude = 4 m

Explanation:

Wavelength:

Since the boats are at crest and trough, respectively at the same time. Hence, the horizontal distance between them is the wavelength of the wave:

wavelength = 24 m

Period:

The period is given as:

$Period = \frac{time}{no.\ of\ cycles} \\\\Period = \frac{10\ s}{1}\\\\$

Period = 10 s

Frequency:

The frequency is given as:

$f = \frac{1}{time\ period}\\\\f = \frac{1}{10\ s}\\\\$

f = 0.1 Hz

Amplitude:

Amplitude will be half the distance between extreme points, that is, crest and trough:

Amplitude = 8 m/2

Amplitude = 4 m

When you ask for help with a crossword clue, don't forget to tell us how many letters it has. For this one, see if "temperature" fits the space.
