Do sound waves particles move fast though a solid?
Yes, they do. Sound waves move fastest through solids, less fast through liquids, and slowest through gasses. This is because the molecules of solids are closer together, while those of gasses are further apart, creating more space that the waves must jump to move.
How do the particles of energy in a longitudinal wave move?
In a longitudinal wave, the particles do not move with the wave. The particle movement is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the particles move left and right which in turn makes the other particles start to oscillate. This creates a wave. longitudinal pressure waves are also known as sound waves.
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.
What is the relationship between the movement of the wave and the movement of the particles of the medium?
The dispersion relationship depends on the medium through which the waves propagate and on the type of waves (for instance electromagnetic, sound or water waves). For sound waves, the denser a medium is, the faster the waves will travel as particles will be closer together and thus energy can be transferred among them at a greater rate.
The part of a sound wave where the molecules are spread apart is called?
compression
Area in which sound waves are pushed together?
This question is misguided. It is not the sound waves which are apart, but the particles of the medium. A place where the particles are further apart is called a rarefaction. Where they are crowded together is called a compression.
How does the speed of sound depend on the medium?
you see. the denser the medium, the faster the sound travels. imagine a gas, particles are far apart transferring sound energy/waves will not be so fast. imagine a solid, like metal particles are close together, sound travels faster since it is transferred easily
Why does sound travel qiuckest through a solid?
Sound is a mechanical wave. It requires a medium for propagation. Since the particles in a solid are close together, the sound energy is propagated way faster in solids rather than liquids and gases whose particles are not as close.
What do particles do when sound is louder?
they stick together
What kind of sound is produced by sound waves with peaks that are close together?
which kind of sound is produced by sound waves with peaks that are very close together?
Why does sound travel faster in soilds and lowest in liquids?
Sound is transmitted when molecules of a substance bumpt their neighbors, which in turns bump their neighbors and so on. So sound travels fastest in a solid because the molecules are very close together. Sound travels slowest in a gas (like air) because in a gas, the molecules are very far apart. Sound travels at a medium speed in a liquid because the molecules in a liquid are neither far apart or very close together.
Is high pitch close together spacing in sound waves?
No The pitch you hear is determined by the frequency of the sound wave (how fast the particles oscillate back and forth). Higher frequency => higher pitch.
Why solids transmit sound better than liquids and gases?
Solids transmit sound and vibration better than liquids and gases because solids' particles molecule's are stuck close together but gas' particles are far off wandering around while liquid's particles are not so close but closer than gas . The best sound/vibration creator is solids then liquids and last gases . Plus to put it in a way that any first grader would say is that a solid is hard so when you bang them together they make an astronomical sound . Its nothing really complex .
Compression waves that can be heard?
Compression waves happen when particles within a wave are close together rather than spread out. Anything that has a sound is a compression wave that can be heard.
Why does sound travel faster in solids than in liquids and gases?
Sound speed depends on the vibration of the particles, the velocity in which the kinetic energy moves between the particles. Solids have particles that are very close to each other, so the transfer of kinetic energy will occur rapidly. In liquids and gases , however, the particles are far apart, so the transfer of kinetic energy from one particle to another will take time.
