What is the cause of most waves and how can this change waves' characteristics?

There are three main factors that affect wave formation: wind velocity, fetch, and duration.

Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest.

To answer this you must first know the definition of a wave. A wave is an oscollation (something that goes back and forth repeatedly) in a medium. A medium is something that the wave travels through, for example, the sound that we hear travels through air, that's to say air is the medium. The cause of a wave is usually caused by introducing energy into a medium. for example, if you shake an electron you introduce energy into the electromagnetic medium. Or if you smack your hands together you introduce energy into the air medium. The energy you introduced travels through the medium. After you shook the electron you gave the electromagnetic medium energy.

Hope it helped

A line from the Brackett series of hydrogen has a wavelength of 1945nm (or 1.0979x10^7m). From which state did the electron orig
Zarrin [17]
We use the Rydberg Equation for this which is expressed as:

<span>1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
</span>
where lambda is the wavelength, where n represents the final and initial states. Brackett series means that the initial orbit that electron was there is 4 and R is equal to 1.0979x10^7m<span>. Thus,
</span>
1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
1/1.0979x10^7m = 1.0979x10^7m [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(4)^2]

Solving for n2, we obtain n=1.

Neutron stars, such as the one at the center of the Crab Nebula, have about the same mass as our sun but have a much smaller dia
Crank

Answer:

Wn = 9.14 x 10¹⁷ N

Explanation:

First we need to find our mass. For this purpose we use the following formula:

W = mg

m = W/g

where,

W = Weight = 675 N

g = Acceleration due to gravity on Surface of Earth = 9.8 m/s²

m = Mass = ?

Therefore,

m = (675 N)/(9.8 m/s²)

m = 68.88 kg

Now, we need to find the value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Neutron Star. For this purpose we use the following formula:

gn = (G)(Mn)/(Rn)²

where,

gn = acceleration due to gravity on surface of neutron star = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

Mn = Mass of Neutron Star = Mass of Sun = 1.99 x 10³⁰ kg

Rn = Radius of neutron Star = 20 km/2 = 10 km = 10000 m

Therefore,

gn = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²)(1.99 x 10³⁰ kg)/(10000)

gn = 13.27 x 10¹⁵ m/s²

Now, my weight on neutron star will be:

Wn = m(gn)

Wn = (68.88)(13.27 x 10¹⁵ m/s²)

<u>Wn = 9.14 x 10¹⁷ N</u>
