AI Thread Summary
Waves can be categorized as longitudinal or transverse based on the direction of oscillation relative to the direction of wave propagation. Longitudinal waves, like sound, have oscillations that occur parallel to the direction of wave travel, while transverse waves, such as those seen in a vibrating rope, oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation. Light is classified as a transverse wave because its oscillations occur perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. Understanding these definitions clarifies the nature of various wave types. Clear distinctions between wave categories enhance comprehension of wave behavior in different mediums.

are questions involving a rope vibrating, standing waves, and all transverse waves? Can someone categorize which other wave is longitude other than sound and which is transverse. Is light transverse or longitudinal, and why, or how can you tell.

I would appreciated someone clear it up for me.

In each case, ask yourself...

In which directions do the oscillations [of the thing that is waving] occur?
How does that compare with the direction of propagation of the disturbance?

(i.e. What are the definitions of "longitudinal" and "transverse"?)

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
