If two transverse waves have the same wavelength the wave with the has the greatest wave speed.?
If two transverse waves have the same wavelength, the wave with the __________ has the greatest wave speed.
What two things that can affect the amount of diffraction of a wave?
Diffraction of a wave depends on wave and speed
How does a wave system function?
A wave system functions with a complex system of quantum mechanics. It is essentially a function of time and space that is very difficult to people measure.
What is the distance between two crest of a wave?
The wave length.
What two wave interactions happen when a wave hits a barrier?
i
What is a peristaltic wave?
they r cats
What muscle pushes digesting food along in a wave-like action?
Peristaltic movement.
What causes the gastroesophageal sphincter to open to allow food to enter the stomach?
the arrival of the peristaltic wave at the stomach
What is the function of the peristaltic wave in the digestive system?
Peristalsis is the progressive wave of contraction and relaxation of a tubular muscular system, esp. the alimentary canal, by which the contents are forced through the system
What is peristaltic movement?
Peristaltic movement is a series of waves of contraction and expansion that causes forward movement. It applies to the peculiar wormlike wave motion of the intestines and other similar structures, produced by the successive contraction of the muscular fibers of their walls, forcing their contents onwards. The word derives from Greek and Latin meaning 'to press together'.
What is a wave like muscular movement that pushes food through the alimentary canal is known as the?
Food moves through the digestive tract as a result of peristaltic motion, or peristalsis.
What are peristaltic pumps used for?
Peristaltic pumps are used to pump many different kinds of fluids. Peristaltic pumps are used in biological systems such as the gastrointestinal tract.
What are the functions of the tanks?
or studying wave properties
What has the author E I Peltola written?
E. I. Peltola has written: 'Comparison of some deuteron wave functions' -- subject(s): Deuterons, Wave functions
What are orthogonal wave functions?
Math Prelude: Orthogonal wave functions arise as a natural consequence of the mathematical structure of quantum mechanics and the relevant mathematical structure is called a Hilbert Space. Within this infinite dimensional (Hilbert) vector space is a definition of orthogonal that is exactly the same as "perpendicular" and that is the natural generalization of "perpendicular" vectors in ordinary three dimensional space. Within that context, wave functions are orthogonal or perpendicular when the "dot product" is zero. Quantum Answer: With that prelude, we can then say that mathematically, the collection of all quantum states of a quantum system defines a Hilbert Space. Two quantum functions in the space are said to be orthogonal when they are perpendicular and perpendicular means the "dot product" is zero. Physics Answer: The question asked has been answered, but what has not been answered (because it was not was not asked), is why orthogonal wave functions are important. As it turns out, anything that you can observe or measure about the state of a quantum system will be mathematically represented with Hermitian operators. A "pure" state, i.e. one where the same measurement always results in the same answers, is necessarily an eigenstate of a Hermtian operator and any two pure states that give two different results of measurement are necessarily "orthogonal wave functions." Conclusion: Thus, there are infinitely many orthogonal wave functions in the set of all wave functions of a quantum system and that orthogonal property has no physical meaning. When one identifies the subset of quantum states that associated pure quantum states (meaning specifically measured properties) and then two distinguishable measurement outcomes are associated with two different quantum states and those two are orthogonal. But, what was asked was a question of mathematics. Mathematically orthogonal wave functions do not guarantee distinct pure quantum state, but distinct pure quantum states does guarantee mathematically orthogonal wave functions. You can remember that in case someone asks.
Do singularities have wave functions and in particular did the big bang singularity have one?
To be sure, many wave functions have singularities. In general, the wave equation has two families of independent solutions. One of those families exhibits no singularities. The other does, that is, it becomes unbounded or infinite at a particular point in space or time. The wave equation in a spherical coordinate system is a well understood and classic example. Along the radial coordinate, the solutions are Bessel Functions. There are two well studied familes of solutions. The J-Bessel Functions are well behaved everywhere, that is, they do not exhibit singularities. In contrast, the Y-Bessel function has a singularity at the origin or the coordinate system. The J and Y Bessel functions may be superimposed to form traveling waves. Depending upon how they are combined, the waves may travel away from the origin or towards the origin. There are many other coordinate systems besides the spherical one. They all have wave functions with and without singularities. If one of the coordinate systems conforms to our notion of the shape of the universe, then, with suitable boundary conditions, a singularity at the origin of time and space does indeed give rise to wave functions.
Where in the stomach do the strongest peristaltic waves occur?
The strongest peristaltic waves occur in the pyloric region of the stomach, or the "pylorus"
