When sound waves hit a barrier nothing happens?
the sound waves reflect back
What happens to sound waves when they reach a wall or other solid flat object?
When a sound hits a flat surface it bounces back in exactly the same direction as before, in exactly the same frequency and pitch.
Diffraction occurs when waves what around the edge of a barrier?
Diffraction occurs when waves bend around the edge of a barrier.
Sound travels the blank through a solid?
Sound travels the best through a solid. Since the molecules in a solid are closer together than in a gas or liquid the sound waves don't have to travel as far to reach the next molecule.
Diffraction occurs when waves around the edge of a barrier?
Diffraction is phenomena that occurs when a wave encounters an obstacle. This happens when a wave reaches an obstacle that is comparable in size to it.
When sound waves hit a barrier nothing happens?
the sound waves reflect back
What happens to primary waves when they pass from solid to liquid?
they speed up
What happens to sound waves when they reach a wall or other solid flat object?
When a sound hits a flat surface it bounces back in exactly the same direction as before, in exactly the same frequency and pitch.
Which are faster s waves and p waves or surface waves?
The fast is primary wave which travels through liguid, solid and gas. This how Geologist know the outer core is liquid. Secondary waves travel through only solid. The primary wave are the first to reach the seismograph.
Diffraction occurs when waves what around the edge of a barrier?
Diffraction occurs when waves bend around the edge of a barrier.
What happens when sound waves reach a border between different materials?
five fat things
The bending of waves around a barrier?
diffraction
Do sound waves travel quickest through solid liquids or gases?
solid. think of it this way you get a large line of people close together to represent solid and you send a shove through them it will reach the end fastest.
What waves bounce off a barrier?
Waves rebounding from a barrier is an example of reflection (the physics term) or an echo. If you'd care to investigate further, there is a link below.
A barrier that breaks the force of incoming waves is called?
A barrier that breaks the force of incoming waves is called a breakwater. It is also called a sea wall. Some piers and wharves are also devices that break the force of incoming waves.BREAKWATER is the barrier that breaks the force of incoming waves.
What is it called when waves bounce off of a barrier?
reflection
Which describes the change in the waves as it encounters the barrier?
Refraction.
