What are the example of longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal waves are waves that have vibrations along or parallel to their direction of travel. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves, waves in a slink, tsunami waves, vibrations in gases, oscillations in springs, internal-water waves, ultra sounds, earthquake P-waves.
Is wavelength measured in hertz or meters?
Usually, no. The wavelength of visible light is usually measured in nanometers. Only larger forms of electromagnetic radiation, like radio waves, are measured in meters.
What phenomena is taking place when sound waves are reflected from a service along parallel lines?
Refracting is the phenomena that takes place when sound waves are reflected from a surface along parallel lines. During this phenomena the phase velocity of the wave changes but the frequency of the wave stays the same.
Which is the least damaging seismic wave?
P waves are the least damaging and only travel left and right, forward and backward along the horizontal plane. S waves are the most dangerous because they cause up and down motion and travel along the surface and solids of a medium causing the most destructive force. However they do not travel as far as P-waves. This is why earthquakes across the planet are felt on the other side. AKA Japan earthquake felt in USA. This is due to the P-waves. http://www.revisionworld.com/files/seismic%20copy.jpg Answer by Mathew Cutshall.
What type of waves are sound waves and how do they transfer energy?
Sound is manifested as a compression wave in a medium. the energy compresses and rarefies the medium transferring the energy to another location (and getting dissipated along the way).
500 nanometers wide fit 2 centimeter line?
500 nanometers long waves fit along a 2 centimeters line
Are heat waves really waves?
Yes. They have a wavelength of just below 400 nanometers.
What is the wave length for infrared waves?
700 nanometers to 1 mm
What is the wave length infrared waves?
700 nanometers to 1 mm
How long are ultraviolet waves?
Short answer: Very short More precise answer: 10 nanometers to 400 nanometers for one full wave (depending on how 'ultra' it is)
Do am radio waves have a lower frequency then ultra violet radiation?
Radio waves and ultraviolet waves are the same physical phenomenon.The difference is that radio waves have a much greater wavelength.(That's equivalent to saying that they have a much lower frequency.)
Do infrared waves interact with the ozone?
Yes. It has some absorption in the "far infrared", about 11,000 nanometers.
Waves that make up the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum have?
. . . wavelengths between roughly 380 and 750 nanometers.
What kind of wave can be seen by the human eye?
Light waves - as long as they are between roughly 350 to 750 nanometers in wavelength.
How does visible light differ from other EM waves?
It has wavelengths very roughly in the octave between 350 and 700 nanometers.
What light waves can be seen by the human eye?
Any light wave with a wavelength between roughly 350 to 750 nanometers.
What does the wavelength of visible light waves correspond to?
The wavelength of visible light corresponds to roughly 380 to 750 millionths of a millimeter.Any longer or shorter than that, and your eyes don't respond to the radiation.
