What forms when a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate?

When a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate, it creates sound waves. Sound waves are mechanical waves that travel through a medium by causing the particles of the medium to vibrate and transfer energy in the form of sound.


What form when a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate?

Mechanical Waves


Which waves causes the medium to vibrate only in a directions parallel to the wave motion?

Transverse waves cause the medium to vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the wave motion. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, cause the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave motion.


Which type of wave causes the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave?

Transverse waves cause the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.


Mechanical waves are created when a source of energy causes a medium to?

vibrate or oscillate. This vibration is then transferred through the medium, causing particles in the medium to also vibrate. This transfer of energy produces the mechanical wave.


What causes sound waves to travel?

Sound waves are generated when an object vibrates, causing air molecules to vibrate in a pattern that travels as a wave. These vibrating air molecules transfer the energy of the sound wave from the source to our ears, where it is perceived as sound.


What waves particles of the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the wave itself?

Transverse waves have particles of the medium that vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave itself. This oscillation causes the disturbance to propagate along the wave. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves and waves on a string.


What wave forms when a source of energy causes particles that make up a medium to vibrate?

A mechanical wave is formed when a source of energy causes particles in a medium to vibrate. Energy is transferred through the medium by the movement of the particles. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.


Which causes the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave motion?

Longitudinal waves cause the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave motion. This means that the particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.


Where does sound originate from?

Sound originates from vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air, water, or a solid object. When an object vibrates, it causes the molecules in the surrounding medium to also vibrate, which creates sound waves that can be detected by our ears.


When objects vibrate they create?

When objects vibrate, they create sound waves that travel through a medium such as air, water, or solid materials. The vibration causes the molecules in the medium to compress and expand, transmitting the sound energy to our ears where it is perceived as sound.


Which causes the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the waves motion?

Longitudinal waves cause the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave's motion. This means that the particles of the medium move back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves, as they propagate through air by causing the air particles to compress and rarefy in the direction of the wave.
