Which of the following types of waves can transmit only through matter? Select all that apply. (Hint: there are 2)

1 answer:

7 0

A) seismic waves
b) sound waves

sound waves are traveling vibrations of particles in media (air, water, metal, etc) so they can’t travel through empty space (vacuums) because there are no atoms or molecules to vibrate.

seismic waves are mechanical waves and require a medium for propagation, hence, they cannot travel through a vacuum.

hope this helps :)

The speed of the center of the earth as it orbits the sun is 107257 kmph and the absolute angular velocity of the earth about it

Sindrei [870]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Speed , $v_0$ =107257 kmph

Angular velocity, $\omega=7.292\times 10^{-5} rad/s$

Radius of earth,r= $6371 km=6371000 m$

1 km=1000 m

Linear velocity, $v=r\omega=6371000\times 7.292\times 10^{-5}=464.57 m/s$

Linear velocity, $v=464.57\times \frac{18}{5}=1672.46 km/h$

Velocity at point A, $v_A=-vi+v_0 j=-1672.46 i+107257j kmph$

Velocity at point B, $v_B=v_0j-vj=107257j-1672.46j=105584.54j kmph$

Velocity at point C, $v_C=v_0j+vi=1672.46 i+107257j kmph$

Velocity at point D, $v_D=v_0j+vj=107257j+1672.46j=108929.46jkmph$

The shifting of the observed wavelength of light due to the motion of the source toward or away from the observer is called the

alexdok [17]

Answer:

doppler effect

Explanation:

When the relative motion of two bodies results in the wavelength becoming shorter this means that the bodies are getting closer. This is known as blue shift.

When the relative motion of two bodies results in the wavelength becoming longer this means that the bodies are getting farther. This is known as red shift.

Collectively this phenomenon is known as the Doppler effect.
