Compression waves that can be heard?
Compression waves that can be heard are known as sound waves. These waves travel through a medium, such as air, and cause particles to vibrate, producing audible sound. Sound waves have different frequencies that determine pitch and amplitudes that determine volume.
Compression waves resulting from the firing of a gun are in fact?
Compression waves resulting from the firing of a gun are in fact high-pressure sound waves that propagate through the air. These waves are responsible for the loud noise heard when a gun is fired.
What kind of waves does sound have transverse waves or compression waves?
Sound is a compressional wave.
Why are sound waves compressional waves?
Sound waves are compression waves because the molecules of air are compressed.
Sound waves are examples of what?
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
Are sound waves an example of compression waves?
Yes, sound waves are an example of compression waves. In a sound wave, the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the direction that the wave is traveling, causing areas of compression and rarefaction as the wave passes through.
What the sound waves called?
Compression
Are sound waves mechanical in nature?
Yes: they are compression-waves in the medium transmitting the sound.
Is sunlight and radiowaves a good example of compression waves?
No, sunlight and radiowaves are not compression waves. Sunlight consists of electromagnetic waves, while radiowaves are a type of electromagnetic wave in the radio frequency range. Compression waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to propagate, such as sound waves.
Area in which sound waves are pushed together?
This question is misguided. It is not the sound waves which are apart, but the particles of the medium. A place where the particles are further apart is called a rarefaction. Where they are crowded together is called a compression.
What is compression of waves used?
you hear that? its sound :)
How does sound travel when a student taps his pencil on the desk?
Sound is a form of energy that travels in waves known as compression waves or waves that are compacted by pressure. Sound can travel in many mediums such as solids, gas, and water. Most importantly is the presence of molecules in our atmosphere for sound cannot be heard in the vacuum of space. So, when you tap your pencil on your desk, you are creating a vibration that can be heard. The harder you tap, the louder the sound will be.
