STANDING WAVES A string attached to a turning fork is set vibrating at the same frequency as the tuning fork. The length and tension in the string are adjusted until standing waves are observed on the string. By knowing the tension in the string and the wavelength of the standing waves‚ the frequency of oscillation of the string and thus‚ the tuning fork is found. This value is then compared to a strobelight determination of the frequency. THEORY If transverse waves of constant

The Three Big Waves of Feminism First-Wave Feminism: Women’s Right to Vote In 1776‚ the then First Lady of the United States was the first to raise her about women’s rights‚ telling her husband to “remember the ladies” in his drafting of new laws‚ yet it took more than 100 years for men like John Adams to actually do so. With the help of half a dozen determined‚ and in this case white upper-middle-class‚ women the first-wave feminism‚ which spans from the 19th century to the early 20th century

The waves are further classified by the kinds of motions they incur to rock particles. Primary or compressional waves‚ known as P waves‚ send particles moving back and forth in the same direction as the waves are traveling‚ as secondary or transverse shear waves‚ known as S waves‚ create vibrations perpendicular

Heat Waves What is heat wave? A heat wave is a prolonged period of excessively hot weather‚ which may be accompanied by high humidity. While definitions vary‚ a heat wave is measured relative to the usual weather in the area and relative to normal temperatures for the season. Temperatures that people from a hotter climate consider normal can be termed a heat wave in a cooler area if they are outside the normal climate pattern for that area.
