Which of the following statements correctly describes sound waves? Select all that apply. a) Sound waves travel as transverse waves.
b)Sound waves travel as longitudinal waves.
c)Sound waves travel at a speed of 3×108 m/s.
d)Sound waves can travel through the vacuum of space.
e)Sound waves typically move faster through solids than gases.

a

Explanation:

transverse waves travel at a right angle to the direction of the wave motion and the examples of transverse waves are water waves and radio waves of which radio produces sound.

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.

the part of the wave he is travelling on is the crest
