What type of wave requires a medium to transfer energy

Physics
2 answers:
Digiron [165]4 years ago

Answer:

Mechanical waves.

Explanation:

A mechanical wave is a perturbation on the mechanical properties of the material medium (position, velocity, pressure, etc. ) in which it propagates.

Mechanical waves need a source that creates the perturbation and, a physical medium in which perturbation propagates, the medium can be a gas, a liquid or, a solid.

Some examples are sound, earthquakes and, waves on a guitar string.

Greeley [361]

A. Internal. Most cars use that type of set up because it's more efficient, you can find more about it on this website, https://auto.howstuffworks.com/did-cars-ever-have-external-combustion-engines.htm

A commuter train passes a passenger platform at a constant speed of 40.4 m/s. The train horn is sounded at its characteristic fr
mihalych1998 [28]

(a) -83.6 Hz

Due to the Doppler effect, the frequency of the sound of the train horn appears shifted to the observer at rest, according to the formula:

f' = (\frac{v}{v\pm v_s})f

where

f' is the apparent frequency

v = 343 m/s is the speed of sound

v_s is the velocity of the source of the sound (positive if the source is moving away from the observer, negative if it is moving towards the observer)

f is the original frequency of the sound

Here we have

f = 350 Hz

When the train is approaching, we have

v_s = -40.4 m/s

So the frequency heard by the observer on the platform is

f' = (\frac{343 m/s}{343 m/s - 40.4 m/s})(350 Hz)=396.7 Hz

When the train has passed the platform, we have

v_s = +40.4 m/s

So the frequency heard by the observer on the platform is

f' = (\frac{343 m/s}{343 m/s + 40.4 m/s})(350 Hz)=313.1 Hz

Therefore the overall shift in frequency is

\Delta f = 313.1 Hz - 396.7 Hz = -83.6 Hz

And the negative sign means the frequency has decreased.

(b) 0.865 m

The wavelength and the frequency of a wave are related by the equation

v=\lambda f

where

v is the speed of the wave

\lambda is the wavelength

f is the frequency

When the train is approaching the platform, we have

v = 343 m/s (speed of sound)

f = f' = 396.7 Hz (apparent frequency)

Therefore the wavelength detected by a person on the platform is

\lambda' = \frac{v}{f'}=\frac{343 m/s}{396.7 Hz}=0.865m

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Inter Quartile Range

Explanation:

Quartile is a positional statistical average, which divided the data into 4 equal halves.

Q1 (Lower Quartile) has 25% data below it, 75% above it. Q3 (Upper Quartile) has 75% data below it, 25% above it.

Interquartile range is the measure used to calculate how far the lower & upper quartiles are.
