What Are waves in which particles move back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave?
Compression waves.
What are waves that move back and forth?
Compression or commonly called a longitudinal wave.
What is the difference between compression and rarefaction?
compression waves the moving particles move backwards and forward in the same direction as the energy transfer.
In which type of waves do the particles in a medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?
Longitudinal. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound. It pushes the medium particles forwards and backwards, parallel to the wave's direction. Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the wave. (E.g. visible light, x-rays, microwaves)
What are waves that move from side to side?
S waves are waves that move from side to side.
What Are waves in which particles move back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave?
Compression waves.
Why does compression happen?
Sound waves move very fast
In sound waves do compression waves move faster than rarefaction waves?
sorta, compressions move at a slightly higher frequency, which is indirectly related to speed.
How does light waves compare with sound waves?
Light waves are electromagnetic waves that move at the speed of light. Sound waves are compression waves that move through a medium (air, liquids, solids), with varying speeds according to the medium.
What kind of waves caused particles of rocks to move back and forth in the same direction?
Longitudinal or compression waves.
What kind of waves cause particles in rocks to move back and forth in the same direction?
Longitudinal or compression waves.
What kind waves cause particles in rocks to move back and forth in the same direction?
Longitudinal or compression waves.
What are waves that move back and forth?
Compression or commonly called a longitudinal wave.
What kind of wave does sound make?
Sound is a compression wave. Waves are basically movements in the medium through which energy travels. Compression waves cause the medium to move parallel to the energy movement. Electromagnetic waves, although they do not require a medium, move parallel to the transfer of energy.
What is the difference between compression and rarefaction?
compression waves the moving particles move backwards and forward in the same direction as the energy transfer.
What happens as waves travel an objects move in their path?
The waves will be bent or reflected.
What happens when seismic waves move from the Earth's crust to the mantle?
Refraction Happens
