Drawing of a compression wave?
Draw a series of isobar lines, making them bunch together in one part of the drawing. The area where they bunch is the compression wave, now animate the drawing to make the bunching move across the drawing. You now have what you requested.
Are compression waves in an electromagnetic spectrum?
1. A compression wave is when the particles in a wave are close together and not spread out. 2. A compression wave is where the pressure in the waves is higher than atmospheric pressure in that particular area where the particles come together.
Which part of sound wave has molecules that are tightly packed together?
it is called the compression
Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?
Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.
A wave in which particles move back and forth at right angles to the direction of travel is called what?
a wave in which matter is moved back and forth in the direction the wave is moving
What is the name for air particles bunching up in a sound wave?
Compression
Compression waves that can be heard?
Compression waves happen when particles within a wave are close together rather than spread out. Anything that has a sound is a compression wave that can be heard.
The portion of a sound wave where the particles of the medium are pressed together is called?
The region of compression is where all the particles of the medium are closer to each other than usual. In a sound wave that usually means that the pressure in that area of compression is slightly greater than the mean pressure of the material in which the sound wave is traveling.
How is a sound wave a compression wave?
As a sound wave travels it compresses the air particles around it together in order for it to travel because a wave cannot travel if the matter it uses isn't connected.
Why sound waves are longitudinal waves?
If the particles of the medium vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave, as in sound waves that's why sound waves are called longitudinal waves.
What makes a compression wave?
compression wave is a wave like a sound wave
What indicates the amplitude of the wave?
The amplitude of a compressional wave, like a sound wave, is determined by the concentration of molecules in each compression. The higher the amplitude, or energy that a wave carries, the more compact the molecules are in a compression. The lower the amplitude, the more spread out those particles are. the amplitude of a compressional wave,like a sound wave,is determined by the contretration of waves in a compression
What is the squeezing of a group of particles in a wave?
Compression is the squeezing of a group of particles in a wave.
What is sound of wave?
A compression wave.
Is a compression wave a sound wave?
yes a sound wave is a Compressional wave
What type of wave is sound wave?
A sound wave is considered a sinusoidal wave.
