What else can I help you with?
Do sound waves go faster in solids liquids or gases?
solids because the atoms are closer together
What kind of sound is produced by sound waves with peaks that are close together?
which kind of sound is produced by sound waves with peaks that are very close together?
Are sound waves made of atoms and elements?
No, sound waves are not made of atoms and elements. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids, by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transmit the sound energy.
Why the velocity of sound waves increases as density of medium increases?
When density of a medium increases, the particles in the medium are closer together, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through the medium because there are more particles available to propagate the wave. This results in an increase in the speed of sound waves in denser mediums.
Are rarefactions and compressions types of sound waves?
Compression, which is the "squeezing" together of molecules, and rarefaction, which is the expansion of the "squeezed" molecules back toward their original position, is the oscillatory behavior that causes sound waves. Individually, they are not types of sound waves, because for any wave you need both a disrupting force and a restoring force oscillating between each other.
What happens to a vibration when amplitude is changed?
as the amplitude increases the waves get closer together like an accordion being squeezed...so the vibrations become faster (or higher pitched if we're talking about sound) if the amplitude is decreased the waves spread out and the vibration is slower and lower in pitch
What is a mixture of sound waves that do not sound pleasing together called?
music
Why do we hear a sound when we clap our hands together?
When you clap your hands together, the collision creates vibrations in the air that travel as sound waves to your ears. These sound waves are then processed by your brain to perceive the sound of clapping.
How is sound transimitted?
Sound is the compression of molecules and atoms in waves which can have different frequencies amplitudes and wavelengths that determine how we interpret the 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.
Does empty space make sound travel fastest?
Sound waves need a medium (such as air, water, metal and other materials) to travel through. Sound waves travel by slightly displacing the atoms from their original position as it moves. With empty space (no atoms) the sound waves cannot travel at all. In general, sound travels slower in gasses, then faster in liquids, and even faster in solids. Each substance is different, though.
Why do sound waves travel faster in steel than in air?
As wave is a type of disturbance and propagates through atom to atom of the medium and in case of steel atoms(molecules) are much closer as compared to atoms(molecules) so sound waves travel faster in steel than in air.
