  • speed and period of the water waves

    163350 speed and period of the water waves Water waves in a shallow dish are 6.5 cm long. At one point, the water oscillates up and down at a rate of 5.2 oscillations per second. What is the speed of the water waves?

  • The Polarization of Light

    In longitudinal waves the vibrations of the medium are parallel to wave propagation and thus the vibrations are exactly similar in all planes drawn through the direction of propagation and hence we can say that the longitudinal waves are practically symmetrical
