An explosion takes place inside a lake,what type of waves are produced inside the water
Answers
answer : longitudinal waves are produced inside the water.
explanation : when an explosion takes place inside a lake, produces shock waves thereby creating enormous increase in pressure in the surrounding water. A shock wave is thus a longitudinal wave travelling at a speed which is greater than that of longitudinal wave of ordinary intensity.
hence, longitudinal waves are produced inside water when an explosion takes place inside a lake.
If any explosion takes place at the bottom of a lake, Longitudinal waves are formed in the water.
Longitudinal waves are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or the opposite direction to, the direction of travel of the wave. Mechanical longitudinal waves are also called compression waves, because they produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium. In longitudinal waves, the displacement of the medium is parallel to the propagation of the wave. Above is the diagrammatic representation.
