Answer: A. Transverse
Explanation:
Sound is a mechanical transverse wave, it travels faster in solids than in liquids or gases. This is because the speed of the mechanical waves is determined by a relationship between the elastic properties of the medium in which they are propagated and the mass per unit volume of the medium.
In addition, the speed of sound varies with changes in the temperature of the medium. This is because an increase in temperature means that the frequency of interactions between the particles that transport the vibration increases, hence this increase in activity increases the speed.
Hence:
<h3>Sounds travels in a <u>transverse</u> wave</h3>
Answer: B
Longitudinal wave
Explanation:
Transverse waves have crests and troughs
Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions. A compression is where the density of the wave medium is highest. While a rarefaction is where the density of the wave medium is lowest.
Since sound wave is a longitudinal wave. And longitudinal wave exists apart from sound, we can therefore conclude that it's a longitudinal wave in spring.
Answer:
White light contains seven colors, which are separated by the prism.
White light reacts with chemicals in the air to produce seven colors.
Explanation:
It was first observed by Sir Issac Newton, that when white light is passed through a prism, an elongated, coloured patch of light is obtained on a screen placed behind the prism. The seven colours obtained constitute the spectrum of white light.
In nature, white light is separated into its constituent wavelengths when white light interacts with substances in the atmosphere.
