How about betting on mm ?adjacent said:Your second diagram is not clear. Distance in what?
The speed of transverse waves is the rate at which these waves travel through a medium. It is typically denoted by the letter "v" and is measured in meters per second (m/s).
The speed of transverse waves can be calculated by multiplying the wavelength of the wave (lambda) by its frequency (f). This can be expressed as v = lambda * f. Another way to calculate the speed is by dividing the distance traveled by the time it took to travel that distance.
The speed of transverse waves can be affected by various factors such as the properties of the medium through which the wave is traveling, the temperature of the medium, and the frequency and wavelength of the wave. In general, waves tend to travel faster through stiffer and denser mediums.
No, the speed of transverse waves is not always constant. It can change depending on the properties of the medium through which the wave is traveling. For example, the speed of light waves in air is different from the speed of light waves in water.
The speed of transverse waves is typically faster than the speed of longitudinal waves. This is because in transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while in longitudinal waves, the particles move parallel to the direction of the wave. This allows transverse waves to travel more quickly through a medium.
