5. Measure: With the lights on, click Pause. Turn on Show rulers. A. The wavelength of a longitudinal wave is equal to the dista

nce between two successive compressions (or rarefactions). What is this distance? B. How does this compare to the wavelength of the comparable transverse wave? (See your answer to question 2C.)

Explanation:

A) The distance between the two successive compressions (or rarefactions) is actually called the wavelength of the longitudinal waves.

B) Wavelengths of longitudinal and transverse waves are comparable in the fact that in a transverse wave, the particles move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels whereas in a longitudinal wave the particles are displaced along the direction to the direction the wave travels

faltersainse [42]
<span>Answer: For a disc, the moment of inertia about the perpendicular axis through the center is given by 0.5MR^2. where M is the mass of the disc and R is the radius of the disc. For the axis through the edge, use parallel axis theorem. I = I(axis through center of mass) + M(distance between the axes)^2 = 0.5MR^2 + MR^2 (since the axis through center of mass is the axis through the center) = 1.5 MR^2</span>

kumpel [21]
The array of colors observed when viewing films of soap are caused by the interference, and from the reflections of light from two nearby surfaces (outer surface and inner surface). Among the choices, the closest answer would be B. reflection, refraction, and interference.

Which statements accurately describe mechanical waves? Check all that apply.
stiks02 [169]

Answers that apply include

  • Energy is transferred through vibrating particles
  • An ocean wave moving through water is an example of a mechanical wave
  • A longitudinal wave is a type of mechanical wave.
  • A transverse wave is a type of mechanical wave

Mechanical waves can't pass through vacuum like electromagnetic waves because t depends on the transfer of energy between particles of matter (matter that has inertia and elasticity). This energy propagates in the same direction as the wave. Another example of mechanical energy is sound. In addition to longitudinal and transverse waves, another type of mechanical wave is surface waves.
