When does shockwave produce?

When speed of object become greater than the speed of sound the waves are produce known as Shock waves.


Why speed of light is greater than speed of sound?

The speed of light is the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate through a medium. The speed of sound is the speed at which acoustic waves propagate through a medium. As the speed of sound relies on the medium moreso than the speed of light, sound propagates much slower than light.


Which travels at a greater speed light waves or sound waves?

Light waves travel at a greater speed than sound waves in a vacuum, moving at approximately 186,000 miles per second. In comparison, sound waves travel much slower through air, at around 767 miles per hour.


How matter waves are greater than the velocity of light?

There are some situations in which waves move faster than the speed of light; but in no case can this be used to transmit matter, energy, or information, at a speed faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.


How does the speed of a wave source and the speed of waves themselves compare when a bow wave is being produced?

A bow wave is produced when the speed of the source exceeds the natural speed of surface waves in the medium (water). This effect is characterised by the disturbance spreading out in a 'V' formation behind the boat.


What different between ultrasonic wave and supersonic wave?

Ultrasonic refers to frequencies greater than those that can be heard (usually frequencies above 20 kHz). Supersonic refers to velocities faster than the speed of sound (in the medium under consideration).


Why the speed of electron beam is greater than the light speed in cathode ray oscilloscope?

Why is the speed of the electron beam greater than the speed of light in cathode ray oscilloscope.


Is the speed of a sound wave slower than a electromagnetic wave?

Yes, the speed of sound waves is slower than the speed of electromagnetic waves. Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air or water, at a speed that depends on the properties of that medium. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through a vacuum at a speed of about 300,000 kilometers per second.


Is the speed in water vapor greater than speed in water?

Not the speed of sound.


Are transverse waves faster than longitudinal waves?

In a given medium, transverse waves and longitudinal waves would generally travel at the same speed. The speed of a wave is determined by the properties of the medium through which it is traveling, rather than its direction of propagation.


How do factors affect the speed p waves and S waves?

The speed of P-waves (primary or compressional waves) and S-waves (secondary or shear waves) is influenced by the medium through which they travel. P-waves move faster than S-waves because they can travel through both solids and liquids, while S-waves can only travel through solids. The density and elasticity of the material also play crucial roles; higher density and greater elasticity generally increase wave speed. Additionally, temperature and pressure conditions can affect wave propagation, particularly in geological settings.


Is the speed of sound as speed of light?

The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
