The particle motion in surface waves is a combination of longitudinal and transverse motion.

Further Explanation:

According to the vibration of the particle, the waves are classified into two categories:

Transverse Waves

Longitudinal waves

Transverse Waves:

The transverse waves are the waves in which the motion of the wave particle is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the waves.

Example: The electromagnetic waves, vibrations produced in a guitar string etc.

Longitudinal waves:

The longitudinal waves are the waves in which the motion of the wave particle is along the direction of propagation of the wave.

Example: Sound waves, seismic waves etc.

The waves produces on the surface are considered to be the combination of the transverse as well as the longitudinal waves because during its motion on the surface, the wave particles vibrate perpendicular to the surface as well as along the direction of propagation of the wave.

Thus, the particle motion in surface waves is a combination of longitudinal and transverse motion.

<h3>Answer;</h3>

B.)neither longitudinal nor transverse

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Longitudinal waves are waves in which the vibration of particles is parallel to the direction of the wave motion.
Transverse waves on the other hand are those waves in which the vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion.
In surface waves particles in the medium of transmission move in a circular motion. Therefore, they are neither transverse waves nor longitudinal waves.

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m and the proton at x = - 1.000 m.how much work

aksik [14]

It is required an infinite work. The additional electron will never reach the origin.

In fact, assuming the additional electron is coming from the positive direction, as it approaches x=+1.00 m it will become closer and closer to the electron located at x=+1.00 m. However, the electrostatic force between the two electrons (which is repulsive) will become infinite when the second electron reaches x=+1.00 m, because the distance d between the two electrons is zero:
$F=k_e \frac{q_e q_e}{d^2}$
So, in order for the additional electron to cross this point, it is required an infinite amount of work, which is impossible.

A magnetic field is uniform over a flat, horizontal circular region with a radius of 1.50 mm, and the field varies with time. In

atroni [7]

Answer:

The average induced emf around the border of the circular region is $8.48\times 10^{-5}\ V$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of circular region, r = 1.5 mm

Initial magnetic field, B = 0

Final magnetic field, B' = 1.5 T

The magnetic field is pointing upward when viewed from above, perpendicular to the circular plane in a time of 125 ms. We need to find the average induced emf around the border of the circular region. It is given by the rate of change of magnetic flux as :

$\epsilon=\dfrac{-d\phi}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=A\dfrac{-d(B'-B)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=\pi (1.5\times 10^{-3})^2\times \dfrac{1.5}{0.125}\\\\\epsilon=8.48\times 10^{-5}\ V$
