Mechanical Waves are waves which propagate through a material medium (solid, liquid, or gas) at a wave speed which depends on the elastic and inertial properties of that medium. There are two basic types of wave motion for mechanical waves: longitudinal waves and transverse waves. The animations below demonstrate both types of wave and illustrate the difference between the motion of the wave and the motion of the particles in the medium through which the wave is travelling.
If the temperature of the air is said to be at absolute zero, one might conclude that a. the molecules contain a minimum amount of energy. b. the motion of the molecules is at a maximum. c. the molecules are occupying a large volume. the molecules contain a minimum amount of energy.
If so... Relative humidity is exactly that: it is relative to the temperature. â¦ Warmer air can hold more moisture than cooler air, so if warm air is 40% humid, and cool air is 40% humid, then the warmer air is actually more humid than the cooler air, even though the RELATIVE humidity is the same. Specific humidity is expressed in GPP, or Grains [of water] Per Pound [of air].
