Can sound waves travel through air?
Yes sound waves can make a sound in the air
What is sound wave velocity?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves in air. Velocity of sound waves in air at NTP = 332 m/s.
Can sound waves go through a vacuum?
No. Sound waves require air.
When sound waves hit a barrier nothing happens?
the sound waves reflect back
How do sound waves travel what do sound waves need in order to travel?
sound waves bounce off of walls. they need air to travel.
What happens to seismic waves in the air?
In air, the seismic waves(P-wave) are simply sound waves, and travel with the speed of sound (approx. 335 m/s).
What happens to energy in sound waves when a sound in the room fades out?
The vibrations in the air (sound) get absorbed by the walls.
Do sound waves vibrate the air?
No. Vibrating air IS sound waves. With no atmosphere (no air, like in space), there are no sound waves.
Can sound waves travel through air?
Yes sound waves can make a sound in the air
What do the vibrations in the air produced?
sound waves
What is sound wave velocity?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves in air. Velocity of sound waves in air at NTP = 332 m/s.
Why are sound waves compressional waves?
Sound waves are compression waves because the molecules of air are compressed.
An insect that produces waves in the water and in the air what can these air vibrations produce?
These waves in the air are called Sound waves, waves that vibrate in the air and if your hearing is good these vibrations will vibrate our ear drums and cause us to hear them as noise or sound.
Can sound waves go through a vacuum?
No. Sound waves require air.
What do sound waves create?
sound waves are created by producing the vibrations in air
When sound waves hit a barrier nothing happens?
the sound waves reflect back
What is the form that sound takes when it travels through air or water?
Waves, sound-waves
