Answer:

In Physics, a transverse wave is a moving wave whose oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave. A simple demonstration of the wave can be created on a horizontal length of the string by securing one end of the string and moving the other up and down. Light is another example of a transverse wave, where the oscillations are electric and magnetic fields that are at right angles to the ideal light rays that describe the direction of propagation.

Explanation:

Transverse waves commonly occur in elastic solids, oscillations, in this case, are the displacement of solid particles from their relaxed position, in the direction perpendicular to the propagation of the wave. Since these displacements correspond to local shear deformation of the material, the transverse waves of this form are known as a shear wave. In seismology, shear waves are also known as secondary waves or S-waves.

Examples of Transverse waves

Some examples of transverse waves are listed below:

The ripples on the surface of the water

Electromagnetic waves

Stadium or a human wave

Ocean Waves

The secondary waves of an earthquake

Direction of current in a solenoid depends on the direction of magnetic field

cestrela7 [59]

Explanation:

Its direction depends on the direction of the current. ... When the current flows through the solenoid in the clockwise direction, then the magnetic lines of force inside or center of the coil will be along the axis inwards according to Fleming's right hand rule.

kupik [55]

Answer:

(a) $I_{1}=3.2*10^{-3}W/m^{2}$

(b) $\beta =95dB$

Explanation:

Given data

Distance r₁=50 m

Distance r₂=2 m

Intensity I₂=2.0 W/m²

To find

(a) The Sound Intensity I₁

(b) The Sound Intensity level β

Solution

For (a) the Sound Intensity I₁

$\frac{I_{1} }{I_{2}}=\frac{(r_{2})^{2} }{(r_{1})^{2} }\\I_{1} =I_{2}(\frac{(r_{2})^{2} }{(r_{1})^{2} })\\I_{1}=(2.0W/m^{2} )(\frac{(2m)^{2} }{(50m)^{2} })\\I_{1}=3.2*10^{-3}W/m^{2}$

For (b) the Sound Intensity level β

The Sound Intensity level β is calculated as follow

$\beta =(10dB)log_{10}(\frac{I}{I_{o} } )\\\beta =(10dB)log_{10}(\frac{3.2*10^{-3}W/m^{2} }{1.0*10^{-12} W/m^{2} } )\\\beta =95dB$

Current Flow and Ohm's Law

Ohm's law is the most important, basic law of electricity. It defines the relationship between the three fundamental electrical quantities: current, voltage, and resistance. When a voltage is applied to a circuit containing only resistive elements (i.e. no coils), current flows according to Ohm's Law, which is shown below.

I = V / R

Where:

I =

Electrical Current (Amperes)

V =

Voltage (Voltage)

R =

Resistance (Ohms)

Ohm's law states that the electrical current (I) flowing in an circuit is proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the resistance (R). Therefore, if the voltage is increased, the current will increase provided the resistance of the circuit does not change. Similarly, increasing the resistance of the circuit will lower the current flow if the voltage is not changed. The formula can be reorganized so that the relationship can easily be seen for all of the three variables.

The Java applet below allows the user to vary each of these three parameters in Ohm's Law and see the effect on the other two parameters. Values may be input into the dialog boxes, or the resistance and voltage may also be varied by moving the arrows in the applet. Current and voltage are shown as they would be displayed on an oscilloscope with the X-axis being time and the Y-axis being the amplitude of the current or voltage. Ohm's Law is valid for both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). Note that in AC circuits consisting of purely resistive elements, the current and voltage are always in phase with each other.

Exercise: Use the interactive applet below to investigate the relationship of the variables in Ohm's law. Vary the voltage in the circuit by clicking and dragging the head of the arrow, which is marked with the V. The resistance in the circuit can be increased by dragging the arrow head under the variable resister, which is marked R. Please note that the vertical scale of the oscilloscope screen automatically adjusts to reflect the value of the current.

See what happens to the voltage and current as the resistance in the circuit is increased. What happens if there is not enough resistance in a circuit? If the resistance is increased, what must happen in order to maintain the same level of current flow?
