<span>A sound wave is a pressure wave that results from the vibration of the particles o the medium from the source. The motion of the particles in the medium is parallel to the direction of the energy transport. The type of wave formed by a sound wave is the longitudinal wave. </span>A longitudinal wave is characterized by rarefactions. A longitudinal wave is a wave motion wherein the particles in the wave medium are displaced parallel to transport. When motion is detected from the source, the particle next to it vibrates from its rest position and a progressive change in phase vibration is observed at each particle within that wave. The result is that the energy is transported from one region to the other. These combined motions result in the movement of alternating regions of rarefaction in the direction of propagation.

3. Will the weight of a kg of iron in air and the weight of a kg of cotton in air
larisa [96]

Answer:

A kg of cotton is heavier.

Explanation:

Because in air, cotton gets upthrust that's why weighing machine gives less weight than its actually have.

for eg: If cotton has 800g weight, the machine shows a kg(1kg) when measure in air due to upthrust.

I hope this will be helpful for you.

A plane electromagnetic wave, with wavelength 4.1 m, travels in vacuum in the positive direction of an x axis. The electric fiel
marusya05 [52]

(a) 7.32\cdot 10^7 Hz

The frequency of an electromagnetic waves is given by:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

where

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

\lambda=4.1 m is the wavelength of the wave in the problem

Substituting into the equation, we find

f=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s}{4.1 m}=7.32\cdot 10^7 Hz

(b) 4.60\cdot 10^8 rad/s

The angular frequency of a wave is given by

\omega = 2\pi f

where

f is the frequency

For this wave,

f=7.32\cdot 10^7 Hz

So the angular frequency is

\omega=2\pi(7.32\cdot 10^7 Hz)=4.60\cdot 10^8 rad/s

(c) 1.53 m^{-1}

The angular wave number of a wave is given by

k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}

where

\lambda is the wavelength of the wave

For this wave, we have

\lambda=4.1 m

so the angular wave number is

k=\frac{2\pi}{4.1 m}=1.53 m^{-1}

(d) 1.03\cdot 10^{-6}T

For an electromagnetic wave,

E=cB

where

E is the magnitude of the electric field component

c is the speed of light

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field component

For this wave,

E = 310 V/m

So we can re-arrange the equation to find B:

B=\frac{E}{c}=\frac{310 V/m}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=1.03\cdot 10^{-6}T

(e) z-axis

In an electromagnetic wave, the electric field and the magnetic field oscillate perpendicular to each other, and they both oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Therefore, we have:

- direction of propagation of the wave --> positive x axis

- direction of oscillation of electric field --> y axis

- direction of oscillation of magnetic field --> perpendicular to both, so it must be z-axis

(f) 127.5 W/m^2

The time-averaged rate of energy flow of an electromagnetic wave is given by:

I=\frac{E^2}{2\mu_0 c}

where we have

E = 310 V/m is the amplitude of the electric field

\mu_0 is the vacuum permeability

c is the speed of light

Substituting into the formula,

I=\frac{(310 V/m)^2}{2(4\pi\cdot 10^{-7} H/m) (3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}=127.5 W/m^2

(g) 1.53\cdot 10^{-8} kg m/s

For a surface that totally absorbs the wave, the rate at which momentum is transferred to the surface given by

\frac{dp}{dt}=\frac{A}{c}

where the <S> is the magnitude of the Poynting vector, given by

=\frac{EB}{\mu_0}=\frac{(310 V/m)(1.03\cdot 10^{-6} T)}{4\pi \cdot 10^{-7}H/m}=254.2 W/m^2

and where the surface is

A = 1.8 m^2

Substituting, we find

\frac{dp}{dt}=\frac{(254.2 W/m^2)(1.8 m^2)}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=1.53\cdot 10^{-8} kg m/s

(h) 8.47\cdot 10^{-7} N/m^2

For a surface that totally absorbs the wave, the radiation pressure is given by

p=\frac{}{c}

where we have

=254.2 W/m^2

c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s

Substituting, we find

p=\frac{254.2 W/m^2}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=8.47\cdot 10^{-7} N/m^2

Conclusion of galileo feather and coin experiment
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

This experiment lets you repeat Galileo's experiment in a vacuum. The free fall of a coin and feather are compared, first in a tube full of air and then in a vacuum. With air resistance, the feathers fall more slowly. In a vacuum, the objects fall at the same rate independent of their respective masses.
