Why do waves increase in height as they reach the shore?
There is a circular current inside the waves and as they come closer to the shore the previous wave is pulled up into it and this gives the initial wave more height because they are now fused.
What happens to interstellar gas as it passes through a spiral density wave?
what happens to interstellear gas as it passes through a spiral density wave
Compression happens during which part of the sound wave?
it happens during the trough
What happens to the energy in a seismic wave as the wave grows larger?
As the amplitude of a wave increases, the energy increases. In general terms the energy transported by a wave is proportional to the amplitude squared.
What is the source of electromagnetic wave?
Electromagnetic waves come from accelerating electric charges, often electrons in atoms. The energy given off travels in a wave that is partly electric and partly magnetic.
As a wave slow and its crest and trough come closer what increases?
The wavelength would increase because the wave would be flattening out and getting longer.
Why does a siesmic wave travel faster through a solid rock then through water?
In solid rock the atoms are joined together and packed closer so the energy of the wave can be passed between the atoms a lot easier. In water the molecules or atoms are not very closely or tightly packed so energy is lost trying to pass between the molecules.
How does spacing of particles in a sound wave change as the amplitude of the wave decrease?
When you space out the wave the amplitude decreases because when the particles are packed closer and closer each time the wave amplitude decreases.
What happens if you wave at the northern lights?
Nothing happens if you wave at them.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the frequency of the wave is doubled but the wave speed stays the same?
Nothing happens
How does earthquake energy travel in seismic waves?
A seismic wave is a mechanical wave - similar to a sound. Basically, the energy of the wave is propagated by groups of atoms hitting into the next group of atoms.
Why do waves increase in height as they reach the shore?
There is a circular current inside the waves and as they come closer to the shore the previous wave is pulled up into it and this gives the initial wave more height because they are now fused.
What are the areas of compression and rarefraction an dwhich type wave do they aply?
LONGITUDINAL wave. Air layers come closer at a particular time at a particular place is known to be compression. At the same place after some time the layers get separated. This is rarefaction. For example, a sound wave.
Why a wave changes in the surf zone?
the bottom of the ocean is closer and the wave hit the bottom and they become shorter increasing the wave lenght
Why do sound waves travel faster in steel than in air?
As wave is a type of disturbance and propagates through atom to atom of the medium and in case of steel atoms(molecules) are much closer as compared to atoms(molecules) so sound waves travel faster in steel than in air.
What happens immediately after the QRS wave of the cardiac cycle?
There are a number of things that may happen during the QRS wave. There will be ventricular depolarization and right after absolute refractory period for ventricles will occur.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the frequency of the waves doubled but the wave speed stays the same?
Nothing happens
