Experiments reveal that the velocity v of water waves may depend on their wavelength lambda , density of water rho , and acceleration due to gravity g . Establish a possible relation between v and lambda , g, rho .

Statement I.: A tsunami is a series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of water of an Ocean. Statement II : A tsunami can be generated when thrust faults associated with convergent or destructive plate boundaries move abruptly.

Assertion:- Polaroid glasses reduce glare from road or water etc. Reason:- Refleted waves are partially polarised

Two sound waves one in air and the other in fresh water are equal in intensity. (a) Find the ratio of pressure amplitude of the wave in water to that of the wave in air. (b) If the pressure amplitudes of the waves are equal then what will be the ratio of the intensities of the waves. [ V_(sound) = 340 m//s in air & density of air = 1.25 kg//m^(3), V_(sound) = 1530 m//s in water, density of water = 1000 kg//m^(3) ]

After the storm, the sea water waves subside due to

A: The speed of light, sound waves, water waves in a medium is independent of the nature of the source of intensity (so long it is low). R: Speed of the waves in a medium depends on wavelength.

On dropping a pebble in still water, what type of waves are produced on the surface of water?

A stationary source generates 5.0 Hz water waves whose speed is 2.0 m/s. A boat is approaching the source at 10 m/s. The frequency of these waves, as observed by a person in the boat, is
