What moves backwards and forwards in sound?
The atoms of the particular medium in which the sound is produced moves backward and forwards in sound.
What is difference between rarer and danser medium?
In denser medium,particles of matter are very close to each other.whereas,in rarer medium,particles of the medium are slightly farther apart.
The disappearance of a wave into a medium?
The disappearance of a wave into a medium is called absorption.
A substance that a wave travels through is called a?
The material through which a wave travels is called a medium.
Which of the following best describes a mechanical wave?
The matter making up the medium does not move along with the wave
What is the matter that waves use to transfer energy?
The matter that waves use to transfer energy is called the medium. The medium actually carries the energy of the wave. Sound is a good example of mechanical energy, and it requires a medium to travel. The energy created at the source is transferred into the medium, and the medium carries it forward in transmission (propagation).
Does all matter have the potential of making sound?
what is sound? it is a disturbance in a medium in the form of wave in which the disturbance moves forward but the object remains stationary. so every matter have the potential to make sound when:-when it can vibratewhen there is medium around the matter
The matter which you wave travels is called the?
The medium would be a suitable term.
Does matter in the medium moves perpendicular to a transverse wave?
A wave where the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave is called a transverse wave. Its highest point is called the crest.
What are waves that disturb matter?
Waves that disturb matter are called mechanical waves. These waves propagate as an oscillation of matter, thus transfer of energy through a medium occurs.
The matter through which a wave travels is called?
medium
The matter through which a wave travels is called what?
a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.
Matter through which a waves travels?
"A compressible medium." "A displaceable medium."
What is it called that allows heat to flow through matter?
u mean mater some material well it is called as " thermal conductor" or " thermal conduction medium".
Why does a mechanical wave need a medium?
medium is the matter a wave trvels through
A physical property of matter that can be produced by vibrations?
A physical property of matter that can be produced by vibrations is called sound. Sound propagates through a medium such as air or water.
What moves backwards and forwards in sound?
The atoms of the particular medium in which the sound is produced moves backward and forwards in sound.
