Why do sound waves travel worse through air?
sound waves does not travel through long distance because in sound waves particles vibration is parallel to the direction of wave propagation due to this one particle is collide with other particle so because of this back and forth vibration sound waves travel worse through air
What is short wavelength?
The distance between one waves crest or trough to the next waves peak or trough respectively. A short sound wavelength for instance, would result in a high pitch sound.
What are three features of sound waves?
Wavelength; this is the distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next.Frequency; this is the number of waves that pass a point in each second.Amplitude; this is the measure of the amount of energy in a sound wave.
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
Does a soft sound have tall waves?
No, soft sound waves have short waves. Loud sound waves are the ones that have tall waves.
The waves which can be propagate a long distance through cast iron?
Sound waves.
Can sound waves originate in a small space and spread out to cover a bigger space?
As of being waves, sound waves does just that. They start from origin and spread out. Sound waves will however quickly fade with distance and time.
Loudness of a sound depends on?
The amplitude of the sound waves. (the distance it makes the particles move)
What is the main characteristic of sound?
Sound waves travel at great distances in a very short time. But as the distance increases the waves tend to spread out.
Gathering information from a distance through images sound waves radio waves etc?
Remote sensing
How long is wavelength?
A wavelength is the distance between 2 successive waves (sound waves, ocean waves, or any other wave.)
How long will it take sound waves to reach you if the source is 40 kilometers away?
The speed of sound waves in air is approximately 343 meters per second. To calculate the time it takes for the sound waves to reach you, divide the distance by the speed. In this case, it would take approximately 116.8 seconds or about 1 minute and 57 seconds for the sound waves to reach you.
Gathering information from a distance- through images sound waves radio waves etc is called?
remote sensing.
What is Gathering information from a distance through images sound waves radio waves etc called?
remote sensing
Describe ways that echoes are used in measurement?
The speed of sound is the distance travelled by the sound waves in the time between the original sound and the echo. For a direct echo, the distance travelled is double the distance to the reflecting surface.
Why does the intensity of a sound decrease as the distance from the source increases?
the waves spread out over a larger areathe waves are absorbed by the medium as they pass through itthe waves are being scattered by irregularities in the medium and don't all proceed forwardetc.
Gathering information from a distance through images sound waves radio waves etc is called?
remote sensing.
