Are compressions and rarefactions characteristics of transverse waves?
Transverse waves have crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.
What is difference between crest and rarefaction?
Transverse waves have crests & troughs ,Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions . rarefaction is a pulling force it is a point when least force is applied
What type of wave has a trough and a crest?
Transverse wave has crests and troughs. But longitudinal has only compressions and rarefactions. Any way while drawing figures even for longitudinal as in the case of organ pipes we follow only crest and trough structures.
What is the distance between two adjacent crests or between two adjacent?
Wavelength is the measure of distance between adjacent crests or troughs.
The distance between successive crests or troughs determines wave?
Wave length.
Do transverse have compressions and rarefactions?
Transverse waves have crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.
Are compressions and rarefactions characteristics of transverse waves?
Transverse waves have crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.
What is the definition of wavelength in units?
the distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a light wave is called its wavelength.
What is difference between crest and rarefaction?
Transverse waves have crests & troughs ,Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions . rarefaction is a pulling force it is a point when least force is applied
Which parts of the transverse wave are analogous to the parts of a longitudinal wave?
Well the wavelength is the distance between succesive crests, or troughs on a transverse wave is the distance between consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a longitudinal wave. the frequency can is the time between consecutive crest on a transverse wave and the time between consecutive rarefactions or compressions on a longitudinal wave. the amplitude on a transverse wave is the distance between a crest and the zero value of the wave, not till the trough. on a longitudinal wave the amplitidue is measured by the strength of the rarefactions or compressions as compared to the natural state of the propagation medium. so for a longidudinal wave travelling throught the air; if the compression pressure is 4 bar the amplitude would be greater than if the compression pressure was 3 bar, because the air's natural pressure is 1 bar. in reality things like sound waves have much less compression pressure.
What is the wavelength of an object?
The wavelength of a signal is calculated by c/f. C is the velocity of the wave and f the frequency of the signal. Wavelength is defined as the distance between any two successive crests or troughs in case of a mechanical wave. In case of longitudinal wave, the distance between two successive compressions or rarefactions will be the wavelength. In case of electromagnetic wave c/f will be the wavelength
What is the distance between two adjacent crests or between two adjacent troughs?
Wavelength is the measure of distance between adjacent crests or troughs.
What is the distance between two adjacent Wave crests or troughs?
Wavelength is the measure of distance between adjacent crests or troughs.
What type of wave has a trough and a crest?
Transverse wave has crests and troughs. But longitudinal has only compressions and rarefactions. Any way while drawing figures even for longitudinal as in the case of organ pipes we follow only crest and trough structures.
What is the distance between crests or between troughs?
It is called the wavelength.
What is the distance between adjacent troughs and crests?
Wavelength
The speed of seismic waves depend on the?
as v=f/\(lemda), it shows that velocity dependx on the frequency of wave i.e numbr of wavs produced in one second and wavelength(lemda) which is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in transverse waves nd in longitudnal waves it is distance betwen two consecutive compressions or rarefactions.
