In a longitudinalwave moving along a spring areas where the coils are the farthest apart are called?
rarefactions
A disturbance moving through a solid liquid or gaseous medium is called?
wave
How sound energy is made?
Sound can only occur where there is "matter". It is created by the atoms of the matter vibrating against each other in a wave form. This can occur where ever there is matter; air, wood, water, metal etc. It can not occur where there is no matter; space, a vacuum.
Which light is called the incident ray?
To be Specific, It would be the ray of light which is moving towards the medium.
How are rarefaction and compressions produced?
By motion,in a compressible fluid.For instance a speaker moving in and out in air.
What are the kinds of waving?
There are two basic types of waves : transverse and longitudinal. Transverse waves are like a wavy line. They consist of a single pulse of energy moving in a curved and wavy way. Light waves are transverse. Longitudinal waves consist of rarefactions and compressions. In a rarefaction, the particles are very sparse. In a compression, the particles are very dense. Sound waves are longitudinal.
What do Mechanical waves have in order to travel?
All mechanical waves must have a medium through which to propagate. The medium may be an matter in any phase - solid, liquid, gas, etc. The waves propagate in either transversely or longitudinally modes. Transverse propagation is perpendicular to the direction of motion; some examples of transverse waves are things like a flag rippling in the wind or the waves of a ribbon or curtain moving up and down along the surface. Longitudinal waves move parallel to the direction of propagation as compressions and rarefactions (stretching). Some examples of these waves are sound waves, and compression waves in springs. Some waves, like water waves, may show both transverse and longitudinal character.
What is the term for the area of wave compressions produced by sounds from an objects moving faster than the speed of sound?
sound barrier
What is the term for the area of wave compressions produced by sounds from object moving faster than the speed of sound?
sound barrier
Which office supply stores sell medium sized moving boxes?
The UPS Store, U-Haul, and The Moving Store sells cardboard moving boxes. Big box stores such as Staples and Walmart also sell cardboard moving boxes.
Has medium been cancelled?
No, but it's moving to a different network.
What is the medium through which the wave is moving?
this is for e2020 students. the answer is: the rope.
