How do you repair the distributor in a Haynes internal combustion engine or can you tell me about a site that can help?
put the spring in the smaller tube and the two ballbearings at either end of it
When does spring end in 2010?
spring ends in June 20th 2010
When did Rites of Spring end?
Rites of Spring festival was created in 2004.
Which states the relationship between the mass attached to the end of the spring and the length the spring is stretched?
more mass the longer the spring
When did Dal-Ja's Spring end?
Dal-Ja's Spring ended on 2007-03-15.
Which type of mechanical wave is produced by pushing sharply on the end of a spring?
a longitudinal wave
Which type of mechanical wave is produced by pushing sharply on the end of a spring toy?
a longitudinal wave
Two wave interactions that can occur when a wave encounters a barrier?
First of all, the scientific term for a barrier is called a "fixed end". And when a wave hits a fixed end, it reflects on the opposite side. Also, the amplitude decreases due to friction.
What Best Describes longitudinal Waves?
Imagine a long spring or slinky (the toy). Now if you give a jerk to the spring from one side, while keeping the other end fixed, you will be able to see a compressions travelling from your end to the fixed end of the spring. Congrats, you just saw a longitudinal wave!
What type of mechanical wave is produced by pushing sharply on the end of a spring toy?
Buoyancy
What is difference between modulated wave and carrier wave?
Carrier Wave: A carrier wave is a high-frequency electromagnetic wave that is used as the "carrier" or the base signal in a modulation process. It is typically a pure sine wave with a constant frequency and amplitude. The carrier wave by itself does not carry any information; it serves as a vehicle to carry the information from one location to another. In AM and FM radio broadcasting, the carrier wave is the primary signal transmitted by the radio station. Modulated Wave: A modulated wave is the result of combining the carrier wave with an information signal, such as an audio signal or data. Modulation is the process of varying the characteristics of the carrier wave (either its amplitude or frequency) in accordance with the information signal. There are two common types of modulation: Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation (FM). In AM, the amplitude of the carrier wave is varied in proportion to the amplitude of the information signal. This variation encodes the information onto the carrier wave. In FM, the frequency of the carrier wave is varied in proportion to the amplitude of the information signal. This variation encodes the information onto the carrier wave. The modulated wave contains the information that needs to be transmitted, and it can be demodulated at the receiving end to retrieve the original information.
What is the amplitude of the visible light spectrum?
It is not meaningful to talk about "amplitude of the visible light spectrum". One might think that more intense light would mean greater amplitude of the light wave, but it just means more photons. "Visible light" is made up of photons. A single photon has a certain quantifiable energy, and that energy is discussed in terms of frequency or wavelength. A photon with low frequency (towards the red end of the visible light spectrum, for instance) is less energetic than a photon with high frequency (towards the blue end and beyond). For all intents and purposes, the amplitude of a photon wave-packet could be said to be of "unit amplitude", the amplitude of light.
How many nodes are in a standing wave that is three wavelengths long?
A node is a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimal amplitude. The opposite of a node is an antinode, a point where the amplitude of the standing wave is a maximum. These occur midway between the nodes. Examples of a type of boundary could be the attachment point of a string, the closed end of an organ pipe or a woodwind pipe, the periphery of a drumhead, or a transmission line with the end short circuit. In this type, the amplitude of the wave is forced to zero at the boundary, so there is a node at the boundary, and the other nodes occur at multiples of half a wavelength from it: 0, λ/2, λ, 3λ/2, 2λ, ... Three wavelength have 7 nodes and 6 antinodes.
How is the wavelength related to the distance between nodes?
A node is a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimal amplitude. The opposite of a node is an antinode, a point where the amplitude of the standing wave is a maximum. These occur midway between the nodes. Examples of a type of boundary could be the attachment point of a string, the closed end of an organ pipe or a woodwind pipe, the periphery of a drumhead, or a transmission line with the end short circuit. In this type, the amplitude of the wave is forced to zero at the boundary, so there is a node at the boundary, and the other nodes occur at multiples of half a wavelength from it: 0, λ/2, λ, 3λ/2, 2λ, ... One wavelength has 3 nodes and 2 antinodes. Between two nodes is the distance of half the wavelegth.
In a light wave what properties tell you the color of the light?
Just ONE property, the wavelength of the light. The colour of visible light depends on its wavelength. These wavelengths range from 700 nm at the red end of the spectrum to 400 nm at the violet end.
Is it possible to have a longitudinal wave in stretched string?
yes, Its possible to have a longitudinal wave on a stretched string by stroking it along its length by a rosined cloth. However, in the wave motion of a stretched string ( tant string with fixed ends) wave (disturbance) produced at one fixed end travels along the length of the string and get reflected back at the other end. Since the original wave and the reflected wave have the same frequency and amplitude, they superimpose to produce stationary transverse disturbance.
How many nodes and antinodes are in a single wavelength of the second harmonic of a vibrating string?
A node is a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimal amplitude. The opposite of a node is an antinode, a point where the amplitude of the standing wave is a maximum. These occur midway between the nodes. Examples of a type of boundary could be the attachment point of a string, the closed end of an organ_pipe or a woodwind pipe, the periphery of a drumhead, or a transmission line with the end short circuit. In this type, the amplitude of the wave is forced to zero at the boundary, so there is a node at the boundary, and the other nodes occur at multiples of half a wavelength from it: 0, λ/2, λ, 3λ/2, 2λ, ... In the second harmonic or in the 1st overtone of a vibrating string there are 3 antinodes and 2 nodes.
