What is the disturbance that travels through a medium as a compressional wave called?
The disturbance that travels through a medium as a compressional wave is called a longitudinal wave. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's energy propagation. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.
What is a synonym for disruption?
disturbance, interference, interruption, stoppage
What is an example of a wave that requires a medium to move through?
Sound wave.Any mechanical vibration requires a physical medium to travel through. All longitudinal, like earthquakes.Sound does not travel in space.A wave that travels through a vacuum is an Electromagnetic waves. ie it is a disturbance that propagates through space and time. EM waves vary in frequency producing light, infra-red, ultraviolet, radio waves etc...Sound waves are mechanical vibration through a medium, differing frequencies produce different pitches of sound.
What happens to the cell when there is disturbance in cellular metabolism?
It would depend on what and how great the disturbance was.
How does a wave surface form?
A wave surface forms as energy is transferred through a medium, causing particles to move in a repetitive, up-and-down motion. This creates a disturbance that propagates outward from the source, forming a wave pattern on the surface of the medium, such as water waves on the surface of the ocean.
How does disturbance travel in a medium?
Disturbance travels in a medium through the transfer of energy from one particle to another. As the energy is passed along, neighboring particles are triggered to vibrate or displace, transmitting the disturbance through the medium. The disturbance does not involve the physical transfer of matter but rather the propagation of energy.
What is the material a disturbance travels through?
The disturbance is generally called a "wave", and the material (which may be empty space in some cases!) is called the "medium".
A wave are disturbance in what?
A wave is a disturbance in a medium, transferring energy without transferring matter. It causes particles in the medium to move in a periodic or oscillating manner.
Which explanation best describes the development of a wave?
Winds cause waves to form. The stronger the wind, the larger the waves. Wind transfers its energy to the surface of the water and depending on the strength of the wind, either small or large waves will form.
How is wave created?
Waves are created when energy is transferred through a medium, causing particles in the medium to oscillate. This energy disturbance creates a repeating pattern of peaks and troughs that propagates through the medium as a wave. Examples of waves include sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves.
Which of the following best describes a mechanical wave?
The matter making up the medium does not move along with the wave
A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave?
Light does that.
How can one produce waves?
produce a disturbance in a medium-- wiggle!
Sound is a disturbance that travels through a medium as a?
Longitudinal wave
Does a periodic disturbance of a medium describe a wave?
No. If it happens that the disturbance propagates through the medium, i.e. spreads out from the disturbed point, then the phenomenon that travels away from the disturbance and through the medium describes the wave.
What is the disturbance in a wave?
A disturbance in a wave refers to any variation or change in the characteristic properties of the wave, such as amplitude, frequency, or wavelength, as it travels through a medium. This disturbance carries energy from one place to another without permanently displacing the medium itself.
What causes a disturbance that results in a wave?
A disturbance that results in a wave is caused by a transfer of energy through a medium, such as water or air. This disturbance can be triggered by varying factors, including vibrations, wind, or a sudden change in pressure. Once the disturbance occurs, it creates a series of oscillations that propagate as a wave through the medium.
