A single bump or disturbance that travels through a medium?
Sound causes vibrations in waves that pass through a medium.
What wave is sound that is a disturbance which travels through a medium?
Longitudinal
Longitudinal wave caused by vibration carried through a medium?
Sound wave.
What are charcteristics of a longitudinal wave?
In a longitudinal wave, the particles in the medium move back and forth along the path of the wave. Sound passing through a solid, liquid or gas is a good example of a longitudinal wave. Waves produced by the wind blowing on the surface of a pond are not longitudinal (The water particles actually move in overlapping vertical circles.) nor are the waves in a flag flapping in the breeze.
Why is sound wave a mechanical wave?
Sound waves are mechanical waves because they require a medium for their propagation .They are also called longitudinal mechanics because they vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave and and produces compression and vibrations like that of longitudinal waves
The matter through which a wave travels is called what?
a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.
A single bump or disturbance that travels through a medium?
Sound causes vibrations in waves that pass through a medium.
A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave?
Light does that.
What kind of waves can travel only through a medium?
Longitudinal
Sound is a disturbance that travels through a medium as a?
Longitudinal wave
What wave is sound that is a disturbance which travels through a medium?
Longitudinal
Is it true that the state of medium heps determine the speed of sound passing through the medium?
Yes it is true, the state of a medium helps determine the speed of sound passing through the medium.
Which wave causes the medium to vibrate only in a direction parallel to the wave's motion?
Longitudinal wave
Longitudinal wave caused by vibration carried through a medium?
Sound wave.
What are charcteristics of a longitudinal wave?
In a longitudinal wave, the particles in the medium move back and forth along the path of the wave. Sound passing through a solid, liquid or gas is a good example of a longitudinal wave. Waves produced by the wind blowing on the surface of a pond are not longitudinal (The water particles actually move in overlapping vertical circles.) nor are the waves in a flag flapping in the breeze.
Where do longitudinal waves travel?
longitudinal waves definitely requires a medium(air,water,solid) in order to transmit it does not travel through vaccum
Does a longitudinal wave need a medium?
It is not so much longitudinal vs. transverse - it is the type of wave. Mechanical waves, by definition, travel through matter. That includes sound waves. Mechanical waves, however, can be both longitudinal and transverse - and both require a medium.
