What waves are in sound waves?

Sound waves in water are essentially the same as sound waves in air; they consist of a sequence of slight compressions of the water between non-compressed water, much as sound in air consists of denser sections of air in between less dense air. The main difference is that sound travels faster in water. The denser medium conducts sound better.


How are sound waves and water waves?

Two main ways. First water waves are essentially two dimensional, i.e. on the surface of water, and sound waves are three dimensional - they (generally) spread out in all directions from the source of the sound. Second water waves are up and down undulations in the water, and are therefore at right angles to the direction of motion (transverse waves). Sound waves are compressions and rarefactions in the same direction as the direction of motion (longitudinal waves).


How do sound waves differ from water waves?

Sound waves are longitudinal waves that travel through a medium like air, while water waves are transverse waves that propagate on the surface of water bodies. Sound waves require a medium for propagation, whereas water waves do not. Additionally, sound waves transfer energy by causing particles in the medium to vibrate, while water waves involve the periodic movement of water molecules.


Is Radiant energy is the same as sound waves true?

No, radiant energy and sound waves are not the same. Radiant energy refers to electromagnetic radiation such as light and heat, while sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate.


What is the following true of sound waves?

Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solid materials. The speed of sound waves varies depending on the medium they travel through. Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which means they move in the same direction as the vibration of particles in the medium that carries the sound.


What does contrast electromagnetic waves with water and sound waves mean?

It means explain how electromagnetic waves are different than water and sound waves.


does Air have waves?

Water waves are appearing to naked eyes, sound waves are not appearing. there are sound waves traveling in the water and air too. it may difficult to say Air has waves such as water waves.


In terms of source what is the difference and similarities of sound waves and water waves?

Sound waves and water waves are similar in that they are both caused by vibrations and carry energy. They are different in that a sound waves are three dimensional, while water waves are just two dimensional.


Are radio waves are the same as sound waves true or false?

False. Radio waves and sound waves are different types of waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that transmit signals through the air, while sound waves are mechanical waves that transmit vibrations through a medium such as air, water, or solid objects.
