What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
What gives a sound wave its pitch and intensity?
A sound wave's pitch is determined by its frequency; that is its cycles per unit of time. The sound wave's intensity or volume is determined by its amplitude; the maximum crest of a sound wave.
What if the molecules from a sound wave are compressed?
Nothing. That IS how a sound wave is propagated.
Which type of wave a sound wave is?
A sound wave is logitudinal because the motion of the medium (air) travels in the same direction as the wave (back and forth).
What waves are mechanical?
Mechanical wave needs a medium to travel. Examples :- Sound Wave, Seismic Wave etc.
Does sound have elements?
No sound is a compression wave and is continuous. Music has elements... but that is another question entirely
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
What is the difference between a continuous wave and a wave train?
A continuous wave or continuous waveform(CW) is an electromagnetic wave of constant amplitude and frequencywave train:a series of waves travelling in the same direction and spaced at regular intervals ...
Is a sound wave a electromaginic wave?
No. A sound wave is a pressure wave.
Is a EM wave a sound wave?
electromagnetic wave is not a sound wave
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum does the ultrasonic wave falls into?
An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound 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.
How does the Sampling rate affect frequency?
In signal processing, sampling is the reduction of a continuous signal to a discrete signal. A common example is the conversion of a sound wave (a continuous signal) to a sequence of samples (a discrete-time signal).
What type of s mechanical wave is a sound wave?
sound wave is a longitudinal wave
What is the difference between the continuous laser and pulsed laser?
A continuous laser produces a constant wave. A pulsed laser's wave is intermittent.
Is sound a type of electromagnetic wave?
No. Sound is a mechanical wave, not an EM wave.
