An osciloppe measures oscillations. Oscillations are vibrations. And vibrations are sound waves.
What do sound waves create?
sound waves are created by producing the vibrations in air
How are sound waves imported?
By vibrations.
What are characteristic of sound waves?
vibrations
How does someone hear a sound?
sound waves and vibrations
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.
Are sound waves a transverse wave?
No , sound waves are longitudinal waves ,their vibrations are along the direction of travel of wave.
