Water travels in what kind of wave?
water travels as a transverse wave (meaning that the water molecules move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the path of the wave. the molecules move up and down while the wave moves in horizontal direction).
What is the disturbance that travels through a medium as a compressional wave called?
longitudinal wave. Example: Sound wave
Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?
Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.
What is wavelength of 512 hertz sound wave that travels 100 meters through air at STP?
The wavelength is about 67 centimeters, regardless of how far it travels.
What kind of wave is created if a tree falls in a forest?
A sound wave ... Although if the tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it does it make a sound? :))
Sound travels as a what?
Sound travels as a wave.
What kind of wave does sound travel through?
Sound travels through matter as transverse pressure waves.
What kind of wave travels by squeezing and spreading?
Sound waves are the waves that travel by squeezing and spreading.
What kind of wave travels only through a medium?
Mechanical waves, including sound waves.
What is sound wave format?
The sound wave only travels in a medium, where the wave is in Longitudinal format.
Is there sound that travels in currents?
No, sound is a wave not a current.
Sound travels in a wave?
Yup.
What is wrong a sound travels in a straight line b sound travels as a wave c sound is a form of energy d sound travels faster in vacuum than in air?
A is wrong. B is right C is right D is wrong A: Sound travels as a wave, therefore it does not travel in a straight line. B: Sound travels in a wave. C: The sound wave is a form of energy; all waves are. D: Sound cannot travel in a vaccuum. A is not entirely wrong.
When sound travels is transferred by the sound wave?
It is called frequency
What sound wave travels fastest?
solids
How does a sound wave work?
A sound wave begins with a viabration wich disturbance that travels through a medium as a lontitudal wave.
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).
