A medium that sound travels 4 times faster through?

its not a material sound is one of the fastest things in th world not as fast as light but its still faster then almost any animal


What wave occur when the motion of medium is at right angels ( perpendiclar) to the direction of th e wave?

Transverse waves occur when the motion of medium is at right angels (perpendicular) to the direction of the wave


When th temperature of the air is 25 degrees C the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately?

c = sqrt(adiabatic index*R*T) ~= sqrt(1.4*287*298) ~= 346 m/s.


How do you measure the wavelength of a transverse wave?

To measure the amplitude of a transverse wave, you measure the the maximum displacement of a point in the wave's medium relative to the medium's resting position. The more energy the wave has, th more the medium will be displaced. D


Light and sound energy travels in the form of what?

Sound is your brain's interpretation of a certain frequency range of waves formed by oscillating media, be it a solid, liquid or gas. The waves propagate longitudinally in all three states of matter, meaning the vibrations of the medium are in the same direction as the wave is traveling, via cyclic changes of lower and higher pressure. These are called compression waves and are the only form of waves that can travel through a liquid or a gas.As for solids, a transverse wave, meaning the vibrations of the medium are perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling, can also occur. This is effectively done by the solid's base structures, whether they be atoms, molecules, or a crystal lattices, rubbing against each other in parallel to their surfaces. This is known as lateral displacement strain due to shear stress.It should be said that mechanical waves in general, including those in the frequency range of sound, need a medium to travel through, unlike electromagnetic waves. This is why light can travel through a vacuum but sound can not.

How do you pronounce through?

"Through" is pronounced as "th-roo." The "th" sounds like the "th" in "thin" and "roo" rhymes with "flew."

Does the term blue blood refer to the blood in the arteries?

No. Veins, have the deoxygenated blue blood. they travel throughout the body to the lungs in order to oxygenate the blood and turn the blood red. Th red blood travels through the heart and out in to the arteries.

Does a ball have more gravitational potential energy when it travels up the stairs 3 ft or when it travels straight up the column 3 ft?

No,th e potential energy is the same - weight times height of 3 feet


If you keep th velocity of projection and change the angle of projection from 75 degrees to 45 degrees what will happen to the horizontal distance the projectile travels?

If you keep th velocity of projection and change the angle of projection from 75 degrees to 45 degrees what will happen to the horizontal distance the projectile travels? if you finish the nova net lesson you might learn the answer! It will travel a greater distance!
