Q: A woman is standing in the ocean, and she notices that after a wave crest passes by, five more…

A:

Q: The wavelength of a wave is doubled. How does this affect the wave speed, frequency, amplitude,…

A: Wave speed remains same since it only depends on medium. ( Not depends on wavelength)  now,…

Q: You are standing on the beach and a five wave crest lands onshore in 50 seconds. each wave is 32m…

A: Wavelength is 32m

Q: A sound wave source (a speaker) creates a sound wave in the air by vibrating back and forth. How…

A: We usually think of sound waves travel in air, but sound can travel through any gas, through…

Q: Explain the function of sin used to represent a wave+.

A: If a wave function is written as This is a wave that has used the sin function. The shape will be…

Q: A student is watching ocean waves passing by her and reaching the shore 33.0 s later. She is sitting…

A:

Q: Most waves carry energy with them, but some do not. True False

A: In general wave carry energy(Mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves),but except for stationary…

A: Given: Graph of the wave motion Required: The frequency (f) The Amplitude (A)

Q: You shake a rope up and down a distance of 40cm with a frequency of 10Hz. The wave formed has a…

A: The equation of the wave is given by

Shock Waves

Shock waves are common in continuum mechanics, and their dominance is attributable to the fact that they are stronger (or even less) compressible. Substantial perturbations propagated as sudden dynamic changes of a compressible medium supersonically. Shock waves are all around us in our daily lives. Lightning, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and meteorite impact all produce them in nature. Even the earth, which is protected by its magnetic field, generates a shock wave as in solar wind that travels around 20 Earth radiuses. These shock waves might be either constant, linked to the body, or unsteady, i.e., moving around with time. All of the shocks mentioned above can be damaging, so precautions must be taken to reduce their impact.
