What is needed for a sound to travel?
Particles, e.g gas particles in air, because sound travels through the vibration of particles. Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum, as there are no particles.
Area of a sound wave where particles are less dense?
The area of a sound wave where particles are less dense is called a rarefaction. It is the diminution in the density of a sound wave.
Sound waves are what waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which transfer energy by compressing particles, which then apply pressure on the particles infront of them. The point at which the particles are compressed is known as the compression, whereas the point at which the particles are most spaced out is known as the rarefaction
Sound waves can travel in a vacumn?
They can't, as sound is a series of particles that hit each other and cause a vibration. There are no particles in a vacuum to vibrate
Why does sound travel slowly through gas?
Sound travels slowly through gas because the particles in a gas are further away then the particles in a solid or a liquid. This makes it take longer for the sound waves to travel through the particles in gases because it takes longer for them to collide with each other; this makes it take longer for the particles to pass on the sound vibration.
Are air particles of sound far apart or close together?
high sound particles are near, and low sound as far apart particles.
What is needed for a sound to travel?
Particles, e.g gas particles in air, because sound travels through the vibration of particles. Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum, as there are no particles.
Why cant sound travel through outer?
Sound, unlike light, needs a medium through which to travel. Sound relies on vibrating molecules or particles. Sound can travel through air at about 3 km/s as it vibrates particles and then the neighbouring particles etc. but it can travel much faster through steel because the particles are much more tightly packed.In outer space there are not enough particles to vibrate, no neighbouring particles for the very few particles that are there. No particles means that there is no sound.
How is sound energy carried from one place to another?
Sound is, in its most basic form, a vibration of particles. Sound energy, then, is carried from one place to another by the transmission of vibrations from particles to surrounding particles.
When particles spread?
Sound does not spread out in particles but in waves. Imagine dropping a pebble in a still lake...and that is how sound waves spread out. Sound waves can also reverberate through harder materials; however, soft materials absorb the vibrations.
Do air particles travel with sound sound waves?
since sound needs a medium for its propagation , it requires air particles to travel along with its waves.
What is the name for air particles spread out a sound wave?
particles of the medium
Area of a sound wave where particles are less dense?
The area of a sound wave where particles are less dense is called a rarefaction. It is the diminution in the density of a sound wave.
Is sound and light are made up of particles?
No because sound and light are created and you can not create something that is made up of particles
What does sound travel as in a medium?
It needs particles, so Air, Liquid or Solid to travel. so the medium is any particles, so if there is no particles, sound cannot travel.
Sound waves are what waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which transfer energy by compressing particles, which then apply pressure on the particles infront of them. The point at which the particles are compressed is known as the compression, whereas the point at which the particles are most spaced out is known as the rarefaction
Is a sound travel ina vacue?
No, sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Sound moves by vibrating particles of a solid, liquid, or a gas. Since there are no particles in a vacuum, sound cannot travel through it.
