What happens when a large wave travels through a small opening?
The wave diffracts and behaves like the opening is a point source.
What happens to an electromagnetic wave when if hits a transparent obstacle?
The wave will pass through the transperent object
What happens when a wave hits a barrier it cannot pass through?
A mechanical wave travels through a medium because a medium is necessary for the propagation of that wave. With a mechanical wave, like sound, mechanical energy is put intothe wave, and the medium carries the energy of the wave. This is in contrast to an electromagnetic wave (like light) which can move through a total vacuum.
What wave does not pass through liquid outer core?
an S wave
What is the word describing the material through which a wave passes?
A wave can only pass through a medium
Which sesmic wave can pass through the earth's mantle and core?
the sesimic wave is the primary wave
What happens to interstellar gas as it passes through a spiral density wave?
what happens to interstellear gas as it passes through a spiral density wave
What is Sweep wave?
Is a big and strong wave that cleans, or destroy everything when it pass through.
Which kind of seismic wave cannot pass through water?
The S-wave.
What happens to the matter through which wave passes after the wave is gone?
It will be like it was before
Is diffraction more pronounced through a small or a large opening?
A smaller opening because it is harder for a wave to travel through smaller openings so after passing through it will diffract more.
What happens to the light wave when people pass through?
It gets absorbed by the people, or at least by their clothing, and none of it remains on the other side of the people to proceed to the detector.
