What else can I help you with?
Are there any science words that starts with W?
Wave, as in sound wave, and weight.
What is an example os a longditudinal wave?
A sound wave is an example of a longitudinal wave. A device used to measure the length and pitch of the sound wave is call a oscilloscope.
What does the amplitude of a sound wave determine?
Amplitude is the energy of a sound wave, which we also call Loudness
What depends on the loudness of sound of a sound wave?
The 'Loudness' of a sound wave is dependent on its Amplitude, hence why we have 'amplifiers' to increase the volume of something.
A sound that's produced by a single wave at a constant frequency and wiht no overtones is called?
The shape of this sound is a sine wave, and that is what physicists call it. Musicians tend to call it the fundamental.
What is an emitter?
Something that emits a force. Such as an EMP or a sound wave.
Can sound wave diffract?
No. Diffraction is not a wave; it is something that HAPPENS to waves; to all sorts of waves.
What starts sounds?
the sound waves when you hit something it will create vibrations and then you will hear. it will travel to you by the sound waves . A sound wave is a regular mechanical vibration that travels through matter, usually air. The cause is something vibrates and that motion is transferred to the air molecules nearest the object. They in turn move and bump into other molecules and a chain reaction occurs. This allows the energy of the sound wave to travel through the air while the air does not move hardly at all.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
What do you call the amount of energy in a sound wave?
Sound energy density or sound density is the sound energy per unit volume (according to Wikipedia).
What is definition of amplitude of sound?
The amplitude of a sound wave refers to the magnitude or height of the wave. It represents the intensity or loudness of the sound. Amplitude is usually measured in decibels (dB) and corresponds to the strength of the signal produced by the sound wave.
Is a sound wave a electromaginic wave?
No. A sound wave is a pressure wave.
