What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
What gives a sound wave its pitch and intensity?
A sound wave's pitch is determined by its frequency; that is its cycles per unit of time. The sound wave's intensity or volume is determined by its amplitude; the maximum crest of a sound wave.
What if the molecules from a sound wave are compressed?
Nothing. That IS how a sound wave is propagated.
Is a sound wave continuous?
A sound wave is continuous for as long as the sound vibrations are being made at its source.
Which type of wave a sound wave is?
A sound wave is logitudinal because the motion of the medium (air) travels in the same direction as the wave (back and forth).
What are the parts of a sound wave?
the farm the sheep and the corn
What parts make up a sound wave?
Compressional and rarefaction
What is wave sampling in laymans terms?
A wave is what a sound LOOKS like. Loud parts of the sound would be the high part of the wave on your screen and quieter parts of a sound or song would be the small low thin parts of the wave. Wave sampling is not a very common term since most people just call it "sampling", is the method in which you would cut a "wave" or a " sound" out of a song using a computer program or mpc device so that you can use that sound for another purpose (most likely to use as a sound effect or as an instrument sound for another song). See the link below that says "wave sound" or copy and paste the url address below this. http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/WD-WCAG20-TECHS/working-examples/G56Audio_4.jpg
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
Is a sound wave a electromaginic wave?
No. A sound wave is a pressure wave.
Is a EM wave a sound wave?
electromagnetic wave is not a sound wave
Do sound wave through solid is longitudinal?
sound waves travel faster in solid in a wave form motion that parts of could be called longitudinal;drop a rock in a lake and the ripples are the same type as sound waves
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum does the ultrasonic wave falls into?
An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.
Is a compression wave a sound wave?
yes a sound wave is a Compressional wave
What type of wave is sound wave?
A sound wave is considered a sinusoidal wave.
Describe an experiment to demonstrate that sound wave require a material for propagation?
No, i wont describe it...Ok, i will cock+your ass=a lot of pain (scream propagation)
What type of s mechanical wave is a sound wave?
sound wave is a longitudinal wave
