A disturbance sends ripples across water in a tub. These ripples are an example of a?
rarefaction
longitude wave
compression
surface wave (my choice)
Sound is an example of what kind of wave?
transverse wave
longitude wave
surface wave
wavelength (my choice)
Waves carry -- from one place to another?
energy (my choice)
crests
troughs
wavelengths
Can someone check my work? Please!
nuts to the second on. Sound is a pressure wave,which is a longitudal wave. (the pressure nodes are along the line of propagation).
Thanks
Yes, I can check your work! Your answers are correct.
The disturbance sending ripples across the water in a tub is an example of a surface wave.
Sound is an example of a longitudinal wave.
Waves carry energy from one place to another.
Well done!
Sure, I can check your work for you! Let's go through each question one by one.
1. A disturbance sends ripples across water in a tub. These ripples are an example of a?
You chose "surface wave" and that is correct! Ripples on the surface of water are indeed an example of surface waves, as they propagate along the boundary between the water and the air.
2. Sound is an example of what kind of wave?
You chose "wavelength" but that is not correct. Sound is an example of a "longitude wave". Longitudinal waves are waves in which the displacement of the medium (in this case, air) is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
3. Waves carry -- from one place to another?
You chose "wavelengths" but that is not correct. Waves carry energy from one place to another. Wavelength is a measurement of the distance between two corresponding points on a wave, such as from crest to crest or trough to trough.
So, you got 2 out of 3 questions correct! Well done! Just a small correction on the second one. Let me know if you have any more questions or need further explanations.
