Sound waves traveling through air are indeed longitudinal waves with compressions and rarefactions. As sound passes through air (or any fluid medium), the particles of air donot vibrate in a transverse manner.Soundis produced when something vibrates. The vibrating body causes the medium (water, air, etc.) around it to vibrate. Vibrations in air are called traveling longitudinal waves, which we can hear. Sound waves consist of areas of high and low pressure called compressions and rarefactions, respectively.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of sound waves do vacuums produce?
The vacuum does not produce sound waves nor, can sound waves travel through them. A sound wave needs something to travel on/through, such as air. A vacuum doesn't contain any particles required for sound waves.
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
What type of waves produce sound?
Sound waves produce sound. These are longitudinal waves that travel through a medium, like air, and are produced by vibrations of a source, like a speaker or vocal cords. Sound waves have frequency and amplitude properties that determine the pitch and volume of the sound.
How do vibrations produce sound waves?
sound waves dont produce vibrations, vibrations are sound waves.
What type instrument produce transverse wave?
If you mean sound waves, the only type of sound waves that can travel through air (or any gas, for that matter) is longitudinal waves.
What does sound travel on?
Waves; sound waves.
How do cheetas produce sound?
Cheetahs produce sound the same way we do but the sounds that travel to them they collect by the sound waves traveling up there ear into the brain where they autimatically process the sound and know what it is!
Do sound sound waves travel up or down and back or forth?
Back and forth in the direction of propagation of the sound waves.
What can sound waves not travel in?
sound waves can't travel in a vacuum (space)
How do sound waves travel to a satellite?
Sound waves require a medium to travel through, and, since space is a vacuum, sound waves can't travel in it.
Sound waves cannot travel on the?
Sound waves cannot travel through vaccum.
Where do sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. In air, sound waves create vibrations that travel through molecules in the form of pressure waves. These waves carry the sound energy and allow the sound to be heard by our ears.
