Longitudinal waves are waves in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels and displacement of the medium is in the same (or opposite) direction of the wave propagation. In which direction of the wave motion do longitudinal waves transfer energy? In a transverseRead More →
An earthquake followed by a landslide in 1958 in Alaska’s Lituya Bay generated a wave 100 feet high, the tallest tsunami ever documented. When the wave ran ashore, it snapped trees 1,700 feet upslope. Five deaths were recorded, but property damage was minimal because there were few cities or townsRead More →
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has given the following criteria for Heat Waves : Heat Wave need not be considered till maximum temperature of a station reaches atleast 40°C for Plains and atleast 30°C for Hilly regions. At what temperature is considered a heat wave? No formal, standardized definition ofRead More →
In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. … On the surface of water waves are formed as transverse waves as we can see water ripples passing onRead More →
Diffraction of light occurs when a light wave passes by a corner or through an opening or slit that is physically the approximate size of, or even smaller than that light’s wavelength. … The parallel lines are actually diffraction patterns. Can diffraction occur without interference? This means there is alwaysRead More →
It is not merely a matter of doing experiments at low energy, but it also depends on how sensitive you are to the corrections coming from quantum field theory. So, yes, quantum mechanics is technically wrong. It’s only an approximation to the more complete framework of quantum field theory. IsRead More →
Regardless of whether your grass grows in sun or shade, watering during the early morning hours is best. When you water in bright, sunny weather, the water from the sprinkler can evaporate before it ever hits the ground. … Watering early will ensure that your grass absorbs the water itRead More →
Anglian Water Business website is now Wave. Is Anglian Water the only water company? What area does Anglian Water supply? Anglian Water supplies water and sewerage services to the largest geographical area of all the water companies in England & Wales, serving East Anglia and East Midlands, from the RiverRead More →
A tidal wave is a shallow water wave caused by the gravitational interactions between the Sun, Moon, and Earth. The rise and fall of the tides play an important role in the natural world and can have a marked effect on maritime-related activities. What is a tidal wave what damageRead More →
Swell size The size of the wave, or swell height, is a measure in feet or meters. If the surf forecast says 1-3m (3-9ft), then it’s usually a good time to go surfing. How do you read swell energy? A thumb rule: the longer the period the more energy inRead More →
