What is a transverse wave​

Physics

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:

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.

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

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

the reason for the acceleration month that the coefficient of kinetic friction is less than the coefficient of satic frictionExplanation:

This exercise uses Newton's second law with the condition that the acceleration is zero, by the time the body begins to slide. At this point the balance of forces is

    fr- w || = 0

The expression for friction force is that it is proportional to the coefficient of friction by normal.

    fr = μ N

When the system is immobile, the coefficient of friction is called static coefficient and has a value, this is due to the union between  the surface, when the movement begins some joints are broken giving rise to coefficient of kinetic friction less than static.  

In consequence a lower friction force, which is why the system comes out of balance and begins to accelerate.

      μ kinetic <μ static

  In all this movement the normal with changed that the angle of the table remains fixed.

Consequently, the reason for the acceleration month that the coefficient of kinetic friction is less than the coefficient of satic friction
