What else can I help you with?
What is the frequency of 45 compressional waves in 90 seconds?
0.5 Hz
Are water waves compressional waves?
Compressional waves are waves that produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium. Water waves are not considered as compressional waves.
Are sound waves transverse waves or compressional waves Why?
Compressional, gasses can be compressed but cannot be wiggled side to side.
Are seismic waves transverse or compressional waves?
Seismic waves can be either transverse or compressional. P-waves are compressional waves that travel fastest, while S-waves are transverse waves that travel slower. Both types of waves are generated by earthquakes and used to study the Earth's interior.
Can compressional waves travel through a vacuum?
No, compressional waves require a medium to travel through, so they cannot travel through a vacuum where there is no matter. Sound waves, which are compressional waves, cannot propagate through a vacuum.
What is known as P waves?
primary waves or compressional waves
What are three facts about compressional waves?
Compressional waves are also known as longitudinal waves, where particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. These waves are characterized by the compression and rarefaction of the medium they travel through. Examples of compressional waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
What waves can be either transverse or conpressional?
Electromagnetic waves can be either transverse or compressional, depending on their polarization. Transverse waves have oscillations perpendicular to the direction of propagation, while compressional waves have oscillations parallel to the direction of propagation. For example, light waves are transverse, while sound waves are compressional.
Compressional waves caused by colliding air molecules?
Compressional waves caused by colliding air molecules are known as sound waves. These waves travel through the air by creating areas of high pressure (compression) and low pressure (rarefaction), which result in the perception of sound. The frequency of these compressional waves determines the pitch of the sound, while the amplitude determines the volume.
How would you find frequency of a compressional wave?
That depends on the information available. You can try to measure the frequency, with specialized equipment. Or, you might measure the wavelength and the speed instead, and use the basic relationship for waves (speed = wavelength x frequency).
Are also known as P waves?
Compression Waves
Which kind of waves are sound waves?
compressional waves they swerve up and down
