What else can I help you with?
What are straight light waves called?
Plane waves.
What kind of waves can be plane polarized?
Transverse waves, such as electromagnetic waves like light and radio waves, can be plane polarized. This means that the electric field oscillates in a single plane as the wave propagates. Longitudinal waves, like sound waves, cannot be plane polarized because their oscillations are in the same direction as the wave's propagation.
Light waves that vibrate in only one plane are called what?
Light waves that vibrate in only one plane are called polarized light. This means that the electric field of the light wave oscillates in a single direction. Polarized light can be achieved through polarization filters or by reflecting light off certain surfaces.
Does plane polarization occur in a transverse waves?
Yes, plane polarization occurs in transverse waves. In transverse waves, the oscillations of the wave propagate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's travel. This allows the wave to exhibit different types of polarization, such as linear, circular, or elliptical polarization.
Electromagnetic waves in lossless dielectric and lossy?
plane waves in lossy dielectrics
The earth travels around the sun ojn what plane?
That plane is called the Ecliptic.That plane is called the Ecliptic.That plane is called the Ecliptic.That plane is called the Ecliptic.
Are light waves that oscillate only in a single plane polarized or unplaced?
Light waves that oscillate only in a single plane are considered polarized. Unpolarized light waves have oscillations occurring in various planes.
What is the difference between plane waves and spherical waves?
Plane waves are planar waves that propagate in a straight line, with wavefronts that are flat and perpendicular to the direction of propagation. Spherical waves, on the other hand, propagate outward in three dimensions from a point source, with wavefronts that form concentric spheres. The intensity of a plane wave decreases as 1/r (where r is the distance from the source), while the intensity of a spherical wave decreases as 1/r^2.
What are waves produces by earthquakes called?
The waves produced by earthquakes are called seismic waves.
Are longitudinal waves plane polarized?
No. Since longitudinal waves are vibrating in the direction that they are traveling, polarization has no meaning in their case.
What are earth waves called?
They're called 'seismic' waves.
What are waves that spread called?
Waves that spread outwards in all directions are called spherical waves.
