Explanation of Solution

  • In a longitudinal wave, the energy propagation is in the direction of motion, while the energy propagation is perpendicular to the direction of motion in a transverse wave.
  • Longitudinal waves contain sound and waves, a spring produced by extension and contraction. Transverse waves include the vibration of string and "wave" instruments in a stadium.
  • Longitudinal wave cannot be polarized, and transverse waves can be polarized.
  • Figure of longitudinal wave:

    Examples of longitudinal and transverse wave:

    Longitudinal wave: Sound wave and ultra sound
    Transverse wave: Light wave and all the electromagnetic waves.

    Block A, with a mass of 10 kg, rests on a 30° incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20. The attached string is parallel to the incline and passes over a massless, frictionless pulley at the top. Block B, with a mass of 15.0 kg. is attached to the dangling end of the string. What is the acceleration of Block B in m/s?  show all steps please
