WAVES
There are two types of wave motion: Longitudinal and traverse waves .In longitudinal waves, the particles are parallel to the direction of wave propagation. In traverse waves, the particles are perpendicular to the direction of wave motion. Further more, in the longitudinal waves, the particles move back and forth about their mean positions. In traverse waves, the particles oscillate up and down about their equilibrium positions.
The water waves are a combination of both the longitudinal waves and traverse waves. While the waves move forward (because of longitudinal properties) the particles rotates in a clockwise motion giving the impression of waves as we see them at oceans.
Energy is required to disturb the particles and make them move in any of above ways. However, the question that arises is, from where do the ocean waves get their energy? They are incessantly moving in the direction predicted without any visible source of energy in sight. The answer is winds. At first, the winds touch the surface of water making the "first waves." Then, after coming in full contact with the surface; they cause "small ripples" to be made. The longer and harder the winds blow, the larger ripples are formed and we can see the full waves moving ahead.
One of most heated topics today is Tsunami and how it is created. Usually tsunami is a result of two kinds of waves, seismic and water waves. Underwater earthquake is the most common cause of tsunami. Volcanic eruptions, landslides and impact of meteorites can also displace large amount of water, generating tsunami. As the seabed is disturbed, large waves are formed as water moves under the impact of gravity to regain its mean position. Because seismic waves cause the entire depth of water to move, wave gain a lot of energy to move at very high speed to very long distances long after the original seismic waves are over, causing immense damage, in form of loss of property and human lives.
B Personalities at work: Can't we all just get along? Imagine this scenario. It's a critical time during a particular business deal. The entire management 'team' of one company reconvenes for lunch in an isolated conference room to discuss what has just transpired with the representatives from the other company over the course of the morning. One individual slams the door angrily behind him. With many an explicative, he sits down,
Getty Museum Before making plans to personally visit the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, I spent an hour or so researching the museum, Mr. Getty, and some of the issues that this richest of all art museums had recently faced. The assignment calls for finding out what is available to see, and I also found out what was not available to see. One important statue that I would
Growth Without Jobs During the Cold War, poverty in the developing world was deemed to be a critical issue for the developed world because of the perceived (and likely very real link) between poverty and economic radicalism. However, in the wake of the demise of the Cold War, the goal of abolishing poverty seems to have abated. The divide between the haves and the have-nots has been exacerbated worldwide. Part of
Wave -- Business Entity Type Discussion Read the scenario set out below and discuss the questions that follow it: Art Fleming is a design engineer with a proven track record in the field of electronic musical instruments. He recently designed a new VLSI (very large scale integrated) chip. This chip is meant to be the heart and soul of a digital sampling keyboard to be called WAVE. Fleming believes the WAVE will
Leadership Followership, Types and the Workplace Leaders in organizations in the past used to wield all the powers and employees performed strict and routine functions and obeyed orders like machines (Curphy & Roellig, 2008). But changes and developments in the last 40 years led organizations to expect more from employees. Other factors contributed greatly to a change in the nature of following. These are new and successive waves of workers, increasing
Filmmakers From Two Different Eras Used to Portray Subjects and Ideas The focus of the research in this study is the techniques utilized by filmmakers from the classical and 'New Hollywood' eras of filmmaking. Towards this end, this study will examine the literature in this areas of inquiry. Classical Hollywood Cinema & Narrative The work of David Bordell (nd) examines classical Hollywood cinema and states that there are three views of narrative
