How does sound travel through?
sound is a lonitudnal wave nd travels in the form of compressions and rarefactions..
Do compressions and rarefactions decompressions in a sound wave travel in the same direction or in opposite directions from one another?
Rarefactions decompressions travel in the same direction, because sound are longitudinal waves.
A sound wave is made of a series of compressions and what?
As sound is an example of a longitudinal wave, sound has a series of compressions and rarefactions.To explain a bit more, compressions are the squeezes of the wave while rarefactions are the stretches of the wave.
How does a longitudinal wave travel?
With the help of compressions and rarefactions longitudinal waves get propagated.
What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
Does sound need to travel through material?
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
What are the names for the bunching up of air that carries though a sound wave?
Compressions their inverse are rarefactions
What is the compressions and rarefactions of a wave?
Neon cat
What is a real life example of rarefaction?
When a sound wave travels through air you get a succession of compressions and rarefactions
Why can't a sound wave travel in space?
The waves in a sound wave are a series of compressions and rarefactions of some medium, which is normally thought of as air, but can be in water, and other liquids, and solids. In a vacuum there is nothing to compress.
What wave is made up of a series of compressions and rarefactions?
it is compressional wave. Compressional waves are a type of sound wave.
The less dense region of a compression wave is called?
The less dense areas created as a sound wave propagates are called rarefactions.
