What else can I help you with?
Can sound waves come in color?
No, sound waves are invisible because it is actually a longitudinal wave caused by compressions and rarefactions. The propagation of sound waves cannot be seen, unlike what is perhaps portrayed in some cartoons for entertainment purposes. But if you are talking about a computer applet to demonstrate sound waves, then yes, it can come in colour.
Do waves travel faster than S waves?
no p waves travel faster than s waves
A seismogram shows that p waves travel?
The seismogram shows that P waves travel faster than S waves, as they are the first waves to arrive at the seismograph station after an earthquake occurs. P waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, whereas S waves are shear waves that can only travel through solids.
What types of waves are light waves?
Light waves are electromagnetic waves that consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. They travel through space at the speed of light and can move through a vacuum. Light waves have a wide range of frequencies, which determines their color and energy.
What type of wave requires no medium to travel through?
Waves need not require medium to travel through. Only Mechanical waves like sound waves require medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves travel in vaccum like light waves. Some waves transmitted in a medium due to disturbances in the medium .
What Earthquakes produce that travel though Earth?
Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes and travel through the Earth. These waves can be divided into two main types: body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the interior of the Earth, and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface.
What are the differences between light waves and sound waves?
Light waves and sound waves are both forms of energy that travel in waves, but they have key differences. Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum, while sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. Light waves travel much faster than sound waves, at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second in a vacuum, while sound waves travel at a speed of about 767 miles per hour in air. Additionally, light waves are transverse waves, meaning they oscillate perpendicular to the direction of travel, while sound waves are longitudinal waves, meaning they oscillate parallel to the direction of travel.
What waves need a medium to travel in?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, require a medium to travel through. These waves propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer the energy of the wave. Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
What can sound waves not travel in?
sound waves can't travel in a vacuum (space)
What are the waves that travel from the sun to earth?
Light waves travel from sun to the earth.
How do sound waves travel to a satellite?
Sound waves require a medium to travel through, and, since space is a vacuum, sound waves can't travel in it.
Do all waves travel through matter?
NO some waves like sound require matter to travel whereas light waves can travel in vacuum.
