Question

A water wave travels from shallow water to deep water and speeds up. Which of the following statements best describes the wave's behaviour as it changes mediums? a) The frequency of the wave is higher in the shallow water and lower in the deeper water. b) The frequency of the wave is lower in the shallow water and higher in the deeper water. c) The wavelength is longer in the shallow water and shorter in the deep water. d) The wavelength is shorter in the shallow water and longer in the deep water. e) The wavelength is unaffected.

- Question: In a ripple water, a wave travels from shallow to deep water. Which of the following would occur during this transition? a) The speed and wavelength would decrease. b) The speed and wavelength would increase. c) The frequency and the wavelength would increase. d) The frequency and the wavelength would decrease. - Question: You notice that in a particular wave, the particles move along the direction in which the wave travels - first in the same direction, then move against it. This type of wave is called a a) Light wave. b) Water wave. c) Longitudinal wave. d) Transverse wave. - Question: In a longitudinal wave, a region of low particles occurs as a a) Compression. b) Rarefaction. c) Crest. d) Trough.

00:01 Hello everyone so here our car is speed up from 15 meter per second to 23 meter per second and during that it covers the distance 125 we need to calculate the time first of all we can calculate the acceleration so that should be b square minus u square equals to 2a d so the square of the 23 squared minus the 15 square over 2 times 125 so here this will be 1 is the 48 times if we take a subtraction that's 8 over 250 so for this 250 if we calculate the our acceleration that's 48 times so this acceleration is 1 .54 meter per second square and now we need a time.
01:12 So that should be v minus u over 8...
