What else can I help you with?
Why is a wave pulse traveling on a string considered a transverse wave?
Because the media displacement (up & down movement of the string) is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Sound waves are longitudinal waves because the medi displacement is back & forth, which is parallel to the wave propagation.
Is a bit is every pulse in a digital signal?
A bit is an on or off; (high or a low ; one or zero, depending on the logic.) A string of bits might be seen as "one pulse", but it is the bit Rate which must be considered.
What do you call a pulse in a longitudinal wave?
In a longitudinal wave, a pulse is typically referred to as a compression or a rarefaction. A compression is an area of high pressure where the particles are closely packed together, while a rarefaction is an area of low pressure where the particles are more spread out.
How you measure the amplitude of a compressional wave?
There are two types of waves: longitudinal and transverse. In a longitudinal wave, the wave moves parallel to the disturbance. In a transverse wave, the wave moves in a direction perpendicular to the direction of disturbance in the medium. For example, in a vibrating string, the string moves up and down, but the pulse travels down the string. The wave moves in a direction perpendicular to the way the string moves. The amplitude of a wave is a measure of its size, or the distance between its peak and trough. It is also a measure of the amount of energyin a wave. While amplitude is hard to calculate for longitudinal waves, it is a fairly simple task to calculate in transverse waves.Instructions1 Find the point where the string (or other medium) is farthest from horizontal in one direction.2 Measure the distance between that point and the horizontal.3 Double that distance. This is the amplitude.

What happen to its energy when a pulse sent down a long string eventually dies away and disappear?
When a pulse sent down a long string eventually dies away and disappears, its energy is typically converted into other forms, such as heat and sound. Friction between the string and the surrounding air causes the pulse to lose energy until it dissipates completely.
What do portable pulse oximeters do?
Pulse oximeters are devices that monitor the saturation of one's hemoglobin. A portable pulse oximeter is useful for those who need to monitor their hemoglobin while traveling.
What is pulse mechanical or electromagnetic?
Pulse can refer to both mechanical and electromagnetic phenomena. In a mechanical sense, a pulse is a wave of pressure or vibration traveling through a medium. In an electromagnetic sense, a pulse is a transient signal or wave of electromagnetic energy.
A pulse with a consistent pattern to it is considered to be?
"Steady"
What happens to its energy when a pulse sent down a long string eventually dies away and disappear?
The energy gets absorbed by the string, and will be converted mainly to heat.
Is a pulse rate of 58 bad?
It is not considered bad, especially if you are very fit, your pulse at rest can be low.
What pulse is considered to be a standard pulse?
the standard pulse for ages 6-15 would be from ranges of 70-100. For an adult though it would be 60-100.
