Differences between light and sound waves?
The differences between light and sound are as follows:Light can be considered to be made of waves as well as particles. Sound is only a wave. It does not show particle nature.Light waves are electromagnetic waves while sound waves are mechanical waves.Light waves are transverse while sound waves are longitudinal.Light waves can travel in vacuum. Sound waves require a material medium to travel, and hence, cannot travel in vacuum.The speed of light in a medium is constant. The velocity of sound waves can change.In sound waves, the particles of the medium actually oscillate. In a light wave, the electric and magnetic vectors oscillate.Light waves can be polarized, but sound waves cannot.Light waves travel much faster than sound waves. The speed of light is a physical constant. Its value is exactly 299,792,458 metres per second in vacuuum. The speed of sound is 343 metres per second in dry air at 20°C.And finally, a simple one - you can see light while you can hear sound.
How do you calculate frequency in ir spectroscopy?
Freqency in electromagnetic waves is the number of waves that pass one point in a second.
Is collecting sound the same as captureing sound waves?
Sound waves are what make up sound (sound waves=sound) so I would suppose so.
What kind of wave are sound waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they travel from side to side, not up and down like transverse waves.
Which is not a type of electromagnetic wave?
Sound waves aren't an electromagnetic wave. So aren't seismic waves. So aren't waves in the ocean, in your hair, or waves bye-bye.
Which characteristics of sound waves is defined as the number of waves that pass a certain point in a second?
frequency
Is frequency associated only with sound?
No, sound is a wave, all waves have a frequency. The frequency is how many waves pass by a certain point in 1 second. Sound is a longitudinal wave.
Are ocean waves and sound waves different?
ocean waves have to do with water and sound waves have to do with sound
How many waves pass a point in one second?
That number is equal to the frequency of the sound or electromagnetic radiation.
What represents the number of sound waves passing a given point in air each second called?
Hertz.
What is meant by the frequency of a wave?
The number of waves that pass a point in 1 second
Sound waves are what waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which transfer energy by compressing particles, which then apply pressure on the particles infront of them. The point at which the particles are compressed is known as the compression, whereas the point at which the particles are most spaced out is known as the rarefaction
What are three aspects of sound waves?
1. The wavelength is the distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next. 2.Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in each second. 3.Amplitude is a measure of the amount of energy in a sound wave.
Number of waves that pass a given point in one second is the waves?
Frequency
What does the frequency of waves refer to?
The number of waves that pass a point in 1 second
The number of waves that pass a certain point in one second is the waves what?
1
Number of waves to pass a point in a second?
Frequency.
