A sound wave is the rapid compression and expansion of air pressure that "waves" outward from where it first originated. As the pressure of the surrounding air decreases, the amplitude seemingly decreases. Sound waves travel through all layers of the atmosphere but do not travel through space where there is no air and zero pressure.
What else can I help you with?
Why do waves change speed as they travel through earths layer?
Different materials have different velocities of sound propagation.
Does sound travel slowly and refract inward in the sofar layer?
In the SOFAR layer (Sound Fixing and Ranging layer), sound does travel slowly due to the combination of low temperature and high pressure. This slower speed causes the sound waves to refract inward towards the layer, enabling them to travel long distances with minimal loss of energy.
What layer of earth will waves travel through faster?
The mantle of course.....because sound waves travel through liquid like surfaces better than solid rock.
In the sofar layer sound travels?
Yes, sound can travel for great distances in this layer because refraction tends to keep sounds waves in the layer.
How much time does the light take to travel through layer 3?
The light takes approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel through layer 3.
How heat waves travel through the ozone layer?
Heat waves do not travel through the ozone layer. Some infrared radiation passes through it, but "far infrared" does not. Ozone is a greenhouse gas.
How fast does sound go through mercury?
The planet Mercury does not have an atmosphere in the same way that the Earth has an atmosphere; it has only a very thin layer of gases far above its surface. Because sound cannot travel in a vacuum, there would be no speed of sound on Mercury.
How many years does it take for energy to travel through the radiative layer of the sun?
It can take thousands to millions of years for energy to travel through the radiative layer of the sun because the photons produced in the core must scatter off particles many times before reaching the surface. The travel time for energy through the radiative layer is influenced by factors such as temperature, density, and opacity of the material.
Parasitic roundworms that travel through the digestive system often have a thick protective layer covering the epidermis this layer is known as the?
D. Cuticle
Layer of the earth through which P waves travel slowly and S waves cannot travel at all?
The outer core is the layer through which P waves travel slowly and S waves cannot travel at all. This is due to the outer core being composed of molten iron and nickel, which hinders the transmission of S waves.
What layer of the atmosphere do meteors travel through?
Meteors typically travel through the mesosphere, which is the third layer of the Earth's atmosphere located above the stratosphere. This layer starts around 31 miles (50 kilometers) above the Earth's surface and extends up to about 53 miles (85 kilometers) high.
What is the characteristics of the statosphere?
Airplanes travel through the stratosphere and the ozone layer is between the mesosphere ans stratosphere!!!!
