Transverse Waves: Displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

To understand this it is good to think of a rope being held still by person B and being moved up and down by person A. The direction of propagation is from person A to B, so you will see the waves move along this way. But the displacement will be up and down.

Can travel in solids, but not in liquids and gas.

eg. Electromagnetic radiation

Longitudinal Waves: Displacement of the medium is parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

A good example for this is a slinky being pushed along the table, the propagation will be along the table and so will the displacement of all the 'rings'.

Can travel through all states of matter.

eg. Sound waves

How are the spiral arms of the milky way detected?
Step2247 [10]
The spiral structure emerges when galactic clusters (open), H II regions and O & B type stars (young stars) are used as tracers. We know this to be true as other pinwheel galaxies exhibit the same patterns across these tracers as in the milky way.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

<h2>42.67N</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

<u>Given </u>

mass m= 0.32kg

intital velocity, u= 14m/s

final velocity v= 22m/s

time= 0.06s

Step two:

<u>Required</u>

Force F

the expression for the force is

F=mΔv/t

F=0.32*(22-14)/0.06

F=(0.32*8)/0.06

F=2.56/0.06

F=42.67N

The average force exerted on the bat 42.67N
