Why do sound waves travel in all directions?
Sound waves, which are mechanical energy, travel in all directions because of diffraction. Diffraction can be thought of as the "bending" of sound waves. To find a more detailed answer to this question, go to the related link listed below. It answers the question perfectly.
What direction do sound waves travel?
It depends if its transverse or longitudinal.
Why do waves travel outward in a circular pattern away from original disturbance?
Under certain circumstances, the waves will go out in all directions. If they go at the same speed in all directions, the pattern will naturally be circular - or spherical, if it's in three dimensions.
An wave requires no medium to travel through?
Any form of light. Radio waves, microwaves, gamma rays, x-rays, infrared waves, visible waves, ultraviolet waves, they all can travel without requiring a substance to travel through. How else would light from the Sun get to us through the emptiness that is outer space?
Energy that travels in waves in all directions from its source?
sound waves
What direction will earthquake waves travel?
Earthquake waves travel in all directions.
Which direction do Seismic waves travel?
in all directions
How the seismic waves of an earthquake travel?
Out words in all directions from the source.
Do infrared waves travel through a vacuum?
Yes, infrared waves are part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum and all electromagnetic radiation will propagate through a vacuum.
How do you know waves transfer energy in the direction of the travel of wave?
seismic waves travel in all directions. the reason we know is because of earthquakes.
Which can travel as fast as the speed of light?
-- radio waves-- microwaves-- heart waves-- infrared waves-- all of the visible colors-- ultraviolet waves-- X-rays-- gamma rays

Do infrared waves travel more quickly visible light?
No. All colors of light, and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation, all travel with the same speed.
What direction do sound waves travel?
It depends if its transverse or longitudinal.
What is the word for the definition A material causes light waves traveling in one direction to travel in all directions?
Polar

How are sound and wave alike?
Both travel in waves but and come out from all directions if the souce other than that nit very much alike as sound waves are vibrations
