What else can I help you with?
When waves come near the shore do they speed up?
Yes, waves do speed up as they approach the shore because the energy of the wave is compressed into a smaller area. This causes the wavelength to decrease, leading to an increase in wave speed.
What type of interference causes the crest of the wave to decrease or cancel out?
Destructive interference causes the crest of a wave to decrease or cancel out. This occurs when the crest of one wave aligns with the trough of another wave, resulting in a reduction or cancellation of the overall amplitude.
When wave come nears shore?
As a wave approaches the shore, its height increases and its speed decreases. This causes the wave's energy to be concentrated, leading to the wave breaking as it reaches shallow water near the shore. The breaking of the wave causes it to release its energy, creating the crashing sound associated with waves hitting the shore.
When the energy of a sound wave is transferred to a particle of a medium and causes it to vibrate and generate heat the sound wave is?
Reflected
Which type of electromagnetic wave causes sunburns?
Ultraviolet radiation does that.
What is a wave in which particles move up and down?
A wave that causes particles to move up and down is called a transverse wave. In this type of wave, the motion of the particles is perpendicular to the direction of the wave itself. Examples include light waves and water waves.
Is it true or false that a transverse wave causes its medium to move parallel to the direction the wave travels?
False. A transverse wave causes its medium to move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. This means that the particles of the medium move up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.
Is a sea wave transverse or longitudinal?
A sea wave is a form of transverse wave because the particles in the water move perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling. This causes the water to move up and down as the wave passes through.
Do tsunamis closer to shore cause more destruction than tsunamis that happen farther from shore?
The wave could appear quite small out in the open ocean. Friction with the shallowing seabed near the shore causes the bottom of the wave to slow, while the top of the wave continues on, gaining height. It is the momentum, volume and power held in the wave that drives the wave up on to the land until the power is dissipated and the wave flows back to the sea. As the wave moves over and backwards it picks up anything not substantial enough to remain rooted to the land. Cars, boats, etc are used as battering-rams causing even more destruction.
What is the relationship between the movement of the wave and the movement of the medium?
In a wave, the movement of the medium is what causes the wave to propagate. The wave itself does not transport anything, it is the disturbance in the medium that propagates and causes the wave motion. The particles in the medium oscillate back and forth in the direction of the wave propagation, transferring energy without actual displacement of the medium as a whole.
Why can a wave make a leaf bob up and down in the water but it cannot move to leave towards the shore?
A wave is a transfer of energy through the water that causes objects on the surface to move up and down as the energy passes through them. However, the wave itself does not have the power to move objects horizontally, so it cannot push the leaf towards the shore. The leaf's movement is a result of the vertical motion caused by the wave passing underneath it.
What seismic wave causes the most damage?
Seismic wave
What cased the tsunamki?
Tsunamis are usually caused by under-sea earthquakes. The shift in the ocean floor moves vast amounts of water, causing a wave. As the wave nears land, the gradual slope of the coastline causes the front of the wave to slow down, while the back of the wave continues at the the same speed. This causes the wave to 'rear up' to great height.
Which wave causes the medium to vibrate only in a direction parallel to the wave's motion?
Longitudinal wave
Which seismic wave causes damage to da surface?
The surface wave.
How energy cause matter to move in transverse wave?
In a transverse wave, energy is transferred perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This energy causes particles of matter to move up and down or side to side, creating the characteristic oscillating motion of a transverse wave. The energy is passed along the medium as the particles transmit the energy to neighboring particles, which in turn causes the wave to propagate.
When was Pelamis Wave Power created?
Pelamis Wave Power was created in 1998.
