How do the velocities of a sound wave and electromagnetic wave compare to each other?
In air at sea level, the speed of electromagnetic waves isroughly 882 thousand times the speed of sound.
The speed of an electromagnetic wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and its?
frequency. The speed of an electromagnetic wave is constant and is determined by the medium it travels through.
Is a sound wave part of a electromagnetic spectrum?
No, a sound wave is not electromagnetic, it is a pressure wave in the air. The speed of propagation is about 1100 ft/second, so 1 mile in 5 seconds.
Is the speed of a sound wave slower than a electromagnetic wave?
Yes, the speed of sound waves is slower than the speed of electromagnetic waves. Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air or water, at a speed that depends on the properties of that medium. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through a vacuum at a speed of about 300,000 kilometers per second.
Does a radio wave travel faster than a sound wave?
Radio waves are sound. Therefore, yes, by definition, they travel at the speed of sound.
Is it correct to say that in every case any radio wave travels faster than any sound wave?
Yes. Radio is a form of electromagnetic wave, so it travels at the speed of light. Since sound requires a physical medium and it is (theoretically) impossible for matter to attain the speed of light, the speed of sound can never be equal to/above the speed of light, and this statement is correct.
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.
Why does an electromagnetic wave in space never slow down?
In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.
The main difference between a radio wave and a sound wave is their different?
They're very different. A sound wave is a longitudinal wave and a radio wave is a transverse wave, radio waves are in the same family as light because they're electromagnetic waves whereas sound waves are just caused by particles passing on a vibration.
Is sound a type of electromagnetic wave?
No, sound is not a type of electromagnetic wave. Sound is actually a mechanical wave that requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves like light do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Which is not a type of electromagnetic wave?
Sound waves are not a type of electromagnetic wave. Sound waves are mechanical vibrations that require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate, whereas electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
What is the speed of any electromagnetic wave?
In a vacuum, any electromagnetic wave will move at the "speed of light", which is about 300,000 km/second.
