Question

1.) in the case of still like and ocean water how are they different in transferring energy from one location to another?
2.) in what direction will you move a rope to create transverse waves?
3.) in what direction will you move a slinky to create longitudinal waves?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 ➡️Waves can transfer energy over distance without moving matter the entire distance. For example, an ocean wave can travel many kilometers without the water itself moving many kilometers. The water moves up and down—a motion known as a disturbance. It is the disturbance that travels in a wave, transferring energy

2➡️Transverse waves travel along the rope in the direction of the black arrow. The individual particles of the rope move back and forth (color arrows) perpendicular to the direction of the waves. (b) In longitudinal waves, successive regions of compression and rarefaction move along the spring

3➡️We can make a horizontal transverse wave by moving the slinky vertically up and down. In a longitudinal wave the particles are displaced parallel to the direction the wave travels. An example of longitudinal waves is compressions moving along a slinky.
