What else can I help you with?
Are the sound waves that travel to the ear for hearing transverse or longitudinal?
Sound waves that travel to the ear for hearing are longitudinal waves.
Do longitudinal waves need to travel through a medium?
Yes, longitudinal waves require a medium to travel through. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves in air, which need air particles to propagate. Without a medium for the waves to move through, like in a vacuum, longitudinal waves cannot travel.
Why a longitudinal wave can not be made to travel along a string?
Longitudinal waves travel on a string!
Waves that compress and expand in the direction that the waves travel?
Longitudinal waves.
Give three examples of mechanical waves and identify the medium through which they travel?
There are only two types of mechanical waves: longitudinal waves, and transverse waves..In a longitudinal wave, the waves themselves oscillate, or vibrate, in the same direction as the wave travel. Longitudinal waves are also called compression waves. Sound and seismic P-waves are examples of mechanical longitudinal waves..In a transverse wave, the waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of the wave travel. Ocean waves and seismic S-waves are examples of mechanical transverse waves..See the related links for further information about longitudinal and transverse waves.
Do longitudinal waves travel the fastest?
No, longitudinal waves do not necessarily travel the fastest. The speed of a wave depends on the medium through which it is traveling. In some mediums, longitudinal waves may travel faster than other types of waves, while in others they may not.
In what waves do sound travel?
Sound travels in longitudinal waves.
Where do longitudinal waves travel?
longitudinal waves definitely requires a medium(air,water,solid) in order to transmit it does not travel through vaccum
Are all waves traverse or longitudinal?
Waves can be either transverse or longitudinal. Transverse waves involve oscillations perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, like ripples on the water. Longitudinal waves involve oscillations parallel to the direction of wave travel, like sound waves.
What is the wave that is combination of transverse and longitude waves are called?
A wave that is a combination of transverse and longitudinal waves is called a surface wave. Surface waves travel along the boundary between two mediums, exhibiting characteristics of both transverse and longitudinal waves. These waves are commonly seen in earthquakes and ocean waves.
What do sound waves travel as?
Longitudinal Wave
Do longitudinal waves have high energy?
The energy of a longitudinal wave is related to its amplitude, frequency, and wavelength, rather than its direction of oscillation. Longitudinal waves can have high energy if they have a large amplitude and high frequency, but the presence of longitudinal motion alone does not determine the energy of the wave.
