Which of the following best describes a longitudinal wave? Select one:

- A disturbance that moves the medium perpendicular to its line of travel.
- A disturbance that moves the medium along its line of travel.
- A wave that is caused by regularly repeating disturbance of the medium.
- A disturbance that moves the medium outward in all directions from a center.

Consider an insulating crystal, made up of layers of atoms. what form would you expect the temperature dependence of the phonon heat capacity to approach at extremely low temperatures if the interlayer coupling is i)very strong (rigid coupling), and ii) very weak. explain.

Place several e-field sensors at a few points on different equipotential lines, and look at the relationship between the electric field and the equipotential lines. which statement is true? 1-at any point, the electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential line at that point, and it is directed toward lines of higher voltages. 2-at any point, the electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential line at that point, and it is directed toward lines of lower voltages. 3-at any point, the electric field is parallel to the equipotential line at that point.
