What metals conduct sound?
All metals can conduct sound, but some conduct it a bit better than others.
Do microwaves work with sound waves at all?
Microwaves and sound waves are similar because they are electromagnetic waves. The main difference between the two types of waves is the length of the wave. Sound waves are longer than microwaves.
Is heat matter Are sound waves matter Is water matter Is bacteria matter Is oxygen matter?
Yes they all are matter because every thing in the world is made out of matter. Also because heat is a solid, water is a liquid, bacteria is a liquid, and oxygen is a gas.
What role do waves play in our everyday life?
For example, without light you wouldn't be able to see; without sound you wouldn't be able to hear. Moreover, all matter is made up of waves, in a way.
Why does a sound wave travel the slowest in a vacuum?
Sound waves don't just travel the slowest in a vacuum, they don't travel at all. The reason is that sound waves, like all mechanical waves, need a medium to travel through.
Do all waves travel through matter?
NO some waves like sound require matter to travel whereas light waves can travel in vacuum.
Why do sound waves need matter to travel?
That's basically what sound waves are all about. Sound waves mean that energy is transmitted, by bumping, from one atom (or group of atoms) to the next.
What type of mediums do sound waves travel trough?
All matter. However, sound waves cannot pass through vacuums, such as space.
What can sound waves get transferred through materials?
All sound waves can do that.
Why cant you here in space?
Because there is no atmosphere in space, therefore nothing can carry the sound waves of your vocal cords. Sound relies on pressure waves moving through air. Therefore, in the absolute vacuum of space, no sound can be heard at all.
What metals conduct sound?
All metals can conduct sound, but some conduct it a bit better than others.
What types of matter conduct heat?
All types of matter conduct heat, each in different amounts, but all do.
Do all vibratings produce sounds?
if they are in a void no matter how much the object vibrates it won't produce any sound waves
What kind of waves are all sound waves?
transverse
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
What are the different mediums a wave can travel?
We know that sound (an acoustic wave) is mechanical energy that travels in waves. These waves require a medium to move through. Fluids (like a liquid, gas or plasma) and solids will conduct sound, and the energy of the wave is transferred into the medium in order for it to travel. The mechanical waves that result from earthquakes also require a medium to travel in. These can be contrasted with electromagnetic energy, like light or radio waves, that can travel through the vacuum of space.
What are the types of matter that do not conduct heat at all?
all types of matter conduct heat, just some do a worse job.
