A sound wave is simply a vibration in the air molecules, or the molecules of some other substance. This vibration propagates as a wave, the energy gets transferred somewhere else.

What wave is made up of a series of compressions and rarefactions?
it is compressional wave. Compressional waves are a type of sound wave.
What difference in a note does the amplitude of its sound wave make?
is when sound going up wave is going down
A sound wave is made of a series of compressions and what?
As sound is an example of a longitudinal wave, sound has a series of compressions and rarefactions.To explain a bit more, compressions are the squeezes of the wave while rarefactions are the stretches of the wave.
A sound wave is made of a series of compressions and?
Rarefractions
Is a EM wave a sound wave?
electromagnetic wave is not a sound wave
What wave is made up of a series of compressions and rarefactions?
it is compressional wave. Compressional waves are a type of sound wave.
What is the sound of a wave?
The sound made by a wave depends on frequency and amplitude.
What is sound wave made up of?
A sound wave is simply a vibration in the air molecules, or the molecules of some other substance. This vibration propagates as a wave, the energy gets transferred somewhere else.
Is a sound wave continuous?
A sound wave is continuous for as long as the sound vibrations are being made at its source.
What difference in a note does the amplitude of its sound wave make?
is when sound going up wave is going down

What is a type of of compressional wave made by a guitar?
Sound
A sound wave is made of a series of compressions and?
Rarefractions
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
Do particles of air in a sound wave move up and down?
no, they move horizontally along the direction of the sound wave movement.
What does the freqency of a sound wave affect?
The frequency of a sound wave affects the pitch of the sound. If the frequency of a wave increases causing more waves for every second, the pitch will go up, and vice-versa.
Is a sound wave a electromaginic wave?
No. A sound wave is a pressure wave.
