A floating leaf oscillates up down two complete cycle each second as a water wave passes by what is the waves frequency?
Say what! the question no makey sense to moi
What type of wave is a sand wave?
A sand wave is lots and lots of sand in the ocean when a wave comes.
Is a leaf floating down a tree an example of an object free true or false falling?
False
What type of wave a light wave?
The type of wave of a light wave is a transverse wave, like waves at the beach (surface waves). Transverse simply means that the motion of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Simply put, if you're floating on the water, and a wave comes to you, the wave lifts you up, and then you drop back down as the wave passes. You are moving at a right angle to the direction that the wave is moving. This is why Surfing is difficult, because you're trying to get it to push you, rather than simply lift you.Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they push particles in the same direction that they are moving in. Pressure waves from explosions are also longitudinal waves.
Is an xray a light wave?
Yes an X-Ray is a light wave. It comes before Gamma Rays! The smallest wave visible.
Why do waves move toward the shore but the leaf floating on the surface of the water does not?
The wave travels through the water without moving the water with it (the water moves but then as the wave passes the water moves back to where it was). The floating leaf stays with the water as the wave passes on its way to the shore.
If a transverse wave of energy travels through the water in this pond how will the floating leaf be moved It?
Move up and down but stay in the same position
What is the scientific name of floating leaf plants?
Hydrilla.
How does the transverse wave carry the medium?
Transverse waves, or any type, don't carry the medium with them. If you have ever seen a duck floating on top of the water when a wave comes, you will know what I mean. The wave brings the duck up, but the duck remains in the same spot.
Why does the leaf stalk of water hyacinth have swellings?
Swollen leaf stalk of water hyacinth keep this herb floating in water. The animals getting trapped in the water body containing water hyacinth escape from drowning due to floating herb by its swollen leaf stalk.
Why is a coin placed in a floating leaf cup?
To make the trophy look cooler.
Which of the following would a chemist be most likely to study a leaf blown by the wind a leaf changing color in autumn a leaf being eaten by insects a leaf floating on water?
a leaf changing color in autumn....novanet
Why a wave moves toward the shore but the leaf floating on the surface of the water does not?
The wave is not a current. The energy gets transmitted from one part of the water to another. A good comparison is a row of glass marbles - if another glass marble bumps into the first marble in the row, the LAST one will move away from the group. I strongly suggest you try it out. What happens here is that the energy gets transmitted from one marble to the next (in this case, it happens rather quickly). The situation in the water wave is similar. The energy gets transmitted, without the water itself moving (as it would in a current). The leaf is at the surface of the water wave. Deep in the water, the water wave is more of a compressive wave. At the surface, it is more of a transverse wave. At the surface, the water moves up and moves down, but it doesn't move longitudinally. The leaf follows the surface -- up and down.

Are orange leaf and peach wave owned by the same company?
No.
Does a floating bird travel in the same direction as the waves?
Not necessarily. A wave is not a current. Objects floating on the water will stay in their position; the waves will go through right underneath them, as the wave energy is transferred from part of the water to another part.
What structure in a leaf controls the gasses that comes in and out of a leaf?
They are the stomata.
