Are sound waves a transverse wave?
No , sound waves are longitudinal waves ,their vibrations are along the direction of travel of wave.
What causes the sound waves that travel from an air hammer to your ears?
VIBRATIONS
How does the sound of a banjo travel through the air?
As vibrations, pressure waves.
Why the sound waves could not pass through vacuum?
Sound waves need to cause vibrations in a medium in order to travel. Vibrations cannot be created in a vacuum, as there is no matter present.
How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?
light waves fast
The vibrations that travel out from the center of an earthquake are called?
seismic waves
Are sound waves a transverse wave?
No , sound waves are longitudinal waves ,their vibrations are along the direction of travel of wave.
Why do light waves travel faster then sound waves?
Electromagnetic waves travel independently of the medium through which they travel -- while transparent matter can impede its passage, no transfer of energy from molecule to molecule is required as with sound waves and other vibrations. The speed of sound is limited by the motion of molecules, which is faster in denser materials.

VIBRATIONS
How does the sound of a banjo travel through the air?
As vibrations, pressure waves.
How do sound waves travel trough matter?
Sound waves travel through the three states of matter (gas, liquid and solid) by vibrations.
Describe how sound waves are travel?
Sound waves are caused by vibrations and travel as longitudinal waves which cause by the vibration of the molecules in air (the molecules dont actually move)
Is electromagnetic a sound wave?
Sound waves and electromagnetic waves are different.Sound waves are the oscillating compression of molecules in a solid, liquid or gas. Electromagnetic waves are oscillations in the electric and magnetic fields. Sound waves, being mechanical, must have a material substance to travel through, but electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, where there is no matter as well as travel through material.Sound is, of course, the vibrations of air which we hear with our ears, but can be vibrations in solids like steel or liquids like water. Electromagnetic waves include radio waves, light from the sun, and even x-rays.
How does sound travel through sound waves?
Sound waves are the sound. The waves cause vibrations in the objects that they collide with, and then the vibrated objects create more waves with their vibrations. An example of this would be listening to someone on the other side of a door.
Why the sound waves could not pass through vacuum?
Sound waves need to cause vibrations in a medium in order to travel. Vibrations cannot be created in a vacuum, as there is no matter present.
How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?
light waves fast
How do vibrations produce sound waves?
sound waves dont produce vibrations, vibrations are sound waves.
