Answer : The correct option is, Sound waves carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave, while light waves carry energy perpendicular to it.

Explanation :

Sound waves are considered as longitudinal waves.

Light waves are considered as transverse waves.

Longitudinal waves are the waves in which the displacement of the particles is parallel to the motion of the waves.

Transverse waves are the waves in which the displacement of the particles is perpendicular to the motion of the waves.

Hence, the sound waves carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave, while light waves carry energy perpendicular to it.

Pupils dilate and constrict in order to allow an adequate amount of light to pass through the retina and vision. If there is not enough light and the pupils do not dilate, a small amount of light will pass to the retina and the vision will be damaged.

a container of water is knocked off a 10.0 meter high ledge with a horizontal velocity of 1.00 meters/second. calculate the time
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1.43 s

Explanation:

The time it takes for the container to reach the ground is determined only by the vertical motion of the container, which is a free-fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion with a constant acceleration of g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground.

The vertical distance covered by an object in free fall is given by

S=ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where

u = 0 is the initial vertical speed

t is the time

a= g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

since u=0, it can be rewritten as

S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

And substituting S=10.0 m, we can solve for t, to find the duration of the fall:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(10.0 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=1.43 s
