Answer: Sound waves and some earthquake waves are longitudinal waves. Ocean, light and other earthquake waves are transverse waves.

Explanation:

There are 2 types of waves:

1. Longitudinal waves: These waves are defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium move in the direction of the wave. This requires a medium to travel. For Example: Sound Waves.

2. Transverse wave: These waves are defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium travel perpendicularly to the direction of the wave. This does not require a medium to travel. These can travel in vacuum also. For Example: Light waves.

Hence, Sound waves and some earthquake waves are longitudinal waves. Ocean, light and other earthquake waves are transverse waves.

An iron wire has length 8.0m and a diameter 0.50mm. The sir has a resistance R.

Rudik [331]

The resistance of the second wire is 16 R.
where R is the resistance of the first wire.

R = ρ $\frac{l}{A}$
where l = length of the wire
A = area of the wire
A = $\pi r^{2}$ where, r = $\frac{diameter of wire}{2}$

Thus, on finding the ratio of resistance of the two wires, we get,

$\frac{R1}{R2} = \frac{l1A2}{l2A1}$

here, R1 = R
l1 = 8m
l2 = 2m
A1=π $0.25^{2}$
A1=π $0.50^{2}$

we get. R2 = 16R

How is a physical change different from a chemical change

lorasvet [3.4K]

There's a few differences. In a physical change the actual substance doesn't change, where in a chemical change with chemical reaction, a new substance is formed. Physical change can be reversed, and chemical change can't.
