What happens to the direction of electromagnetic waves in media?
The direction of electromagnetic waves in media goes all willey nilley.
When sound waves hit a barrier nothing happens?
the sound waves reflect back
What does a microphone change sound waves into?
Electricity
What happens to a medium that is carrying sound waves?
the medium will get vibrate.
A change in loudness results from a changing of the of the sound waves.?
A change in the amplitude.
What happens to the direction of electromagnetic waves in media?
The direction of electromagnetic waves in media goes all willey nilley.
When sound waves hit a barrier nothing happens?
the sound waves reflect back
How do sound waves travel further through media such as water and steel?
dense media
How sound waves travel through media?
titi mu
Which type of waves are combination waves that occur at the boundary between two media?
Surface Waves
Name four media that waves can travel?
Electromagnetic waves: no medium requiredMechanical waves, such as sound: Air, water, steel, jello
What series of longitudinal waves in air and in other media are set up by vibrating bodies?
These are known as sound waves.
Why does the frequency of sound waves change for a listener when the sound source moves towards or away from the listener?
This is an example of the Doppler effect. Sound is composed of waves. A particular vibration produces a sound wave with a particular wavelength. When the sound source moves towards a listener the waves are "bunched up". That results in a shorter observed wavelength and thus a higher frequency. When the sound source moves away the opposite happens. The frequency of the sound waves decreases.

What happens when transverse electromagnetic waves encounter cavity?
light waves or electromagnetic waves are transverse and sound waves are longitudinal
What does a microphone change sound waves into?
Electricity
What happens to the sound waves when it enter into vacuum?
Sound waves cannot propagate in a vacuum. Sound waves travel through matter, and a vacuum is, by definition, the absence of matter.
