What else can I help you with?
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
What the sound waves called?
Compression
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.
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.
What is compression of waves used?
you hear that? its sound :)
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.
How does compression in longitudinal waves affect the propagation of sound through a medium?
Compression in longitudinal waves increases the density of particles in a medium, which leads to faster propagation of sound. This compression allows the sound waves to travel more efficiently through the medium, resulting in a clearer and louder sound.
