What kind of waves are helpful to man kind?
According to quantum mechanics everything is a wave.
What is the opposite of a mechanical wave?
The opposite of a mechanical wave is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through, unlike mechanical waves which require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light, radio waves, and X-rays.
What type pf waves carry energy at a right angle to the direction of the energy flow?
Transverse waves carry energy at a right angle to the direction of the energy flow. In these waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation, causing the wave to oscillate up and down or side to side. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.
What is it called when two waves combine?
When two waves combine, it is called wave interference. This can result in either constructive interference (when the waves amplify each other) or destructive interference (when the waves cancel each other out).
Do lightwaves travel horizontal or vertical?
light waves are supposidly two dimensional waves of an electron but do they travel horizontal or vertical well the earths magnetic field has an effect on them "northen lights" and so does man made magnetic fields ie: the TV so any self respecting scientist or physisit should be able to answer the question Obviously there aren't any
What is being transported as the waves move through matter or space?
The energy is being transported. In the case of a light wave, it is electromagnetic energy. In the case of a sound wave, it is sound energy. (The matter is not being transported, only the energy.)
What is infrasound wave?
Infrasound waves are sound waves with frequencies below the lower limit of human audibility, typically below 20 Hz. These waves can be produced by natural phenomena like earthquakes and thunderstorms, as well as man-made sources such as industrial machinery and aircraft. Infrasound waves can have unique properties and can impact humans and animals in various ways.
What is a repeating disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space?
A wave is a repeating disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space. Waves can be classified into different types based on their properties, such as mechanical waves (require a medium to travel through) and electromagnetic waves (can travel through a vacuum). Examples include sound waves and light waves.
What does the wave symbolize in the seventh man?
In "The Seventh Man" by Haruki Murakami, the wave symbolizes the overwhelming and unpredictable nature of trauma and fear. It represents the moment of crisis that can engulf a person, as well as the inexorable passage of time and memory that continues to affect the survivor. The wave serves as a metaphor for both the destructive power of loss and the potential for renewal and healing, illustrating how individuals confront their past and the waves of emotion that accompany it.
What property of both longitudinal and transverse waves increases the amount of energy?
The amplitude of a wave increases the amount of energy it carries. In both longitudinal and transverse waves, increasing the amplitude results in more energy being transmitted through the wave.
What is an example for a wave interaction?
Reflection and absorption...most likely a combination of the two. In reflection the wave bounces back off the barrier and, depending on the incident wave and how it matches in phase with the reflected wave, the reflected wave could be enhanced through constructive interference with the incident wave or degraded through destructive interference. In absorption, the energy from the incident wave is taken into the barrier material. This typically causes the barrier to vibrate indicating the energy it absorbed. A barrier is more likely to absorb the energy when its natural frequency is some harmonic of the incident wave.
Name three types of electromagnetic waves?
I'll just quote "Fields and Waves in Modern Radio", by Ramo/Whinnery, 2nd edition, page 318: 1. TEM (transverse electromagnetic waves), 2. TM (transverse magnetic waves), 3. TE (transverse electric waves).
