What else can I help you with?
What if the molecules from a sound wave are compressed?
Nothing. That IS how a sound wave is propagated.
What happens to air molecules as sound travels?
As sound travels, air molecules are compressed and rarefied in a wave-like pattern. When a sound wave passes through a medium like air, the molecules vibrate back and forth in the direction of the wave, transmitting the sound energy. This vibration causes changes in pressure that our ears detect as sound.
What waves consists of compressed and ratified regions of particles that are colliding with one another?
A longitudinal wave such as a sound wave.
What happens as a sound wave energy decrease?
The sound gets softer.
What are the denser areas of a sound wave called?
The denser areas of a sound wave are called compressions. These are regions where air particles are compressed together, resulting in higher pressure and increased density.
What happens to the wavelength of a sound wave after reflection?
it changes
The amplitude of a sound wave increases. What happens to the sound?
If the amplitude of a sound wave increases, the sound will become louder. This is because amplitude directly correlates with the intensity or volume of the sound.
What happens to the volume of sound as the amplitude get larger?
The greater the amplitude of a sound wave the louder the sound.
What happens to intensity if the amplitude of sound is doubled?
If the amplitude of a sound wave is doubled, the intensity of the sound wave will increase by a factor of four. This is because intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave.
What would a high pitch sound wave look like?
A high pitch sound wave would have a higher frequency, with closely packed wave crests. This would appear as waves that are more tightly compressed together in a graphical representation.
What happens to the air particles as the sound wave travels through them?
As the sound wave travels through the air, the air particles vibrate back and forth in the direction of the wave, transferring the sound energy.
Compression happens during which part of the sound wave?
Compression happens during the part of the sound wave where the air particles are pushed closer together, resulting in an increase in air pressure. This creates a region of higher pressure within the sound wave, causing the compression of the air particles.
