What else can I help you with?
Where do the sound wave pass through?
It paseses through this thing called air. Sound wave can only travel in air and in current wires
What must sound wave travel on to reach your ears?
sound waves travel through the air particles
What are the two sound waves that travel through the air?
Transverse wave and a longitudinal wave
Why a sound wave can't travel from a satellite to earth?
A sound wave can not travel from a satellite to earth because there is not an atmosphere in space. The sound wave has no way off traveling through the air because there isn't any air.
Which state of matter does a sound wave travel faster through?
Air
Which type of wave is sound?
Sound is a type of mechanical wave, specifically a longitudinal wave that travels through a medium such as air, water, or solids. It consists of compressions and rarefactions that create variations in air pressure which are perceived by our ears as sound.
Why can't a sound wave travel from a satellite to earth?
A sound wave cannot travel through space because there is no air in space. Without a medium such as air, you can't hear sounds
Is a mechanical wave a sound wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a mechanical wave. Sound waves need a medium (like air) to travel through. The energy of the wave, the mechanical energy, is transferred into the medium through which it is propagated.
Is sound a type of electromagnetic wave?
No, sound is not a type of electromagnetic wave. Sound is actually a mechanical wave that requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves like light do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Can smell travel on a sound wave?
No, smell cannot travel on a sound wave. Smell is detected through the olfactory system in the nose, while sound waves are physical vibrations that travel through a medium like air, water, or solids.
What is the source of a sound wave and how does it propagate through a medium?
The source of a sound wave is vibrations produced by an object. These vibrations create changes in air pressure, which travel through the air as a wave. As the wave moves through a medium, such as air or water, the particles in the medium vibrate back and forth, transmitting the sound energy.
Do you need air to have sound?
It doesn't have to be air, but some medium for the wave to travel through, since it is mechanical.
