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
<h2>Let us find the efficiency : Ans = 0.6</h2>
Explanation:
we know :
efficiency = output/input
We also know that :
output = m x g x h
where :
m = mass of body
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height of body from floor
Thus, output = 0.6 x 10 x 1.2 = 7.2J
Similarly ,input = 0.6 x 10 x 2 = 12J
Thus efficiency = 7.2/12 = 0.6
The false statement would be :
C. constructive interference occurs when the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another and their individual effects are reduced or cancelled out.
Constructive interference should be when the crest of one wave overlaps another and their individual effects are add up, becoming a single wave of increased amplitude<span />
Answer:
The electric field produced by this disk along the x axis at point (P = 1.01 m, 0.00 m) is 996.54 N/C
Explanation:
The electric field produced by this disk along the x axis at point (P = 1.01 m, 0.00 m), will be evaluated as follows:
Since x > 0
σ is surface charge density = 5.88 × 10⁻⁶ C / m²
R is the radius = 7.52cm = 0.0752m
position x = 1.01m
k is coulomb force constant = 8.99 × 10⁹ Nm² / C²
= 996.54 N/C
Therefore, The electric field produced by this disk along the x axis at point (P = 1.01 m, 0.00 m) is 996.54 N/C
