When sound enters another medium such as a wall what remains constant?
When sound enters another medium such as a wall, the frequency or pitch of the sound remains constant. The velocity or speed of sound may change depending on the properties of the medium, but the frequency remains the same.
The bending of a wave as it passes an edge or an opening is called?
Diffraction. Bending of light/sound as it moves from one medium to another - Refraction.
How is sound produced and how does it travel?
Sound travels through a medium such as a solid or liquid, and it moves when the air vibrates and hits an object.
Is there any phase change occurred when sound wave refracted from denser medium to a rarer medium?
NO
Does all matter have the potential of making sound?
what is sound? it is a disturbance in a medium in the form of wave in which the disturbance moves forward but the object remains stationary. so every matter have the potential to make sound when:-when it can vibratewhen there is medium around the matter
The speed of a sound wave depends on properties of the medium occurs when a sound wave moves from one medium into another in which its speed is different?
refrction
What moves backwards and forwards in sound?
The atoms of the particular medium in which the sound is produced moves backward and forwards in sound.
When sound enters another medium such as a wall what remains constant?
When sound enters another medium such as a wall, the frequency or pitch of the sound remains constant. The velocity or speed of sound may change depending on the properties of the medium, but the frequency remains the same.
Does sound change mediums once it passes through medium?
Yes, sound can change its medium.
What is the refraction of sound?
Being a wave, sound can change its direction if it goes from one medium to another - for example, from air to water.
The bending of a wave as it passes an edge or an opening is called?
Diffraction. Bending of light/sound as it moves from one medium to another - Refraction.
The material in witch a sound wave moves is called a?
"medium"
How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?
Frequency and speed of propagation of the wave are independent of one another. The medium determines the speed of propagation.
Is it the speed or the size of the vibration that changes the pitch of a sound?
Neither. Speed of sound waves doesn't change unless there is a change in the medium (substance through which the wave moves). the size of the vibration determines how loud the sound is. the length of the vibration is what determines the pitch.
What is natural sound?
a vibrating body moves to and fro around its rest position and produces compressional waves in the surrounding medium. these compressional waves are called the sound waves which trevles from one place to another.
Why does the speed of sound change if the temperature of the medium change?
because the density of the medium changes with temprature
A medium can effect speed of sound by changes in what?
When you change density and temperature you effect the way sound travels through a medium.
