Learn about transverse and longitudinal waves and wave phenomena like bow and shock waves!

For a sine curve to be pictured the conveyor belt must move fast move a constant speed move back and forth A sine curve represents a longitudinal wave a bow wave a transverse wave Examples of transverse waves are light and sound sound and a streched string a streched string and light A longitudinal wave moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave along the direction of the wave neither of the previous Sound waves consist of series of compressions and rarefactions compresions and oscilations rarefactions and oscilations A bow wave is produced when the source of the wave moves at the same speed of the wave moves faster than the speed of the wave moves slower than the speed of the wave A shock wave is produced when the source of the wave moves faster than the source of the wave moves faster than the speed of sound the two previous are correct A sonic boom is produced when all the waves of sound are heard at once an aircraft has overpassed the speed of sound all the crests of sound overlap and encounter the listener in a single busrt all of the previous are correct Now it's time to explain. How does a longitudinal wave move in space-time? Give examples to illustrate. Explain. How can a bug in the water create a bow wave? Explain. A supersonic plane can produce a shock wave. How does this happen? Ve el siguiente video si aún tienes tiempo.Si no vuelve más tarde y velo completo.
