sound waves travel as longitudinal waves, that is the movement of the wave is in the direction of travel. sound is made by vibrations, therefore sound waves create areas of stretched apart air (rarefactions) and compressed air (compressions) which are areas of low and high pressure respectively.

Sound travels as a what?
Sound travels as a wave.
What type of energy travels in a compression wave?
by refraction
What is wrong a sound travels in a straight line b sound travels as a wave c sound is a form of energy d sound travels faster in vacuum than in air?
A is wrong. B is right C is right D is wrong A: Sound travels as a wave, therefore it does not travel in a straight line. B: Sound travels in a wave. C: The sound wave is a form of energy; all waves are. D: Sound cannot travel in a vaccuum. A is not entirely wrong.
Which type of wave travels faster through solids then through gasses?
Sound waves (pressure waves).
How does a sound wave work?
A sound wave begins with a viabration wich disturbance that travels through a medium as a lontitudal wave.
Sound travels as a what?
Sound travels as a wave.
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).
Sound travels in what kind of wave?
Sound is a longitudinal, mechanical wave that requires a medium.
What type of energy travels in a compression wave?
by refraction
What type of wave is the method of sound energy transfer?
Sound travels in mechanical longitudinal waves.
What type of wave moves the fastest?
Light wave travels fastest in air Sound wave travels fastest in solid or liquid
What is an example of at type of energy that travels as a longitudal wave?
Sound, some earthquake waves.
What is sound wave format?
The sound wave only travels in a medium, where the wave is in Longitudinal format.
Is there sound that travels in currents?
No, sound is a wave not a current.
Sound travels in a wave?
Yup.
What is wrong a sound travels in a straight line b sound travels as a wave c sound is a form of energy d sound travels faster in vacuum than in air?
A is wrong. B is right C is right D is wrong A: Sound travels as a wave, therefore it does not travel in a straight line. B: Sound travels in a wave. C: The sound wave is a form of energy; all waves are. D: Sound cannot travel in a vaccuum. A is not entirely wrong.
When sound travels is transferred by the sound wave?
It is called frequency
