A sound wave is simply a vibration in the air molecules, or the molecules of some other substance. This vibration propagates as a wave, the energy gets transferred somewhere else.
The sound made by a wave depends on frequency and amplitude.
A sound wave is continuous for as long as the sound vibrations are being made at its source.
Sound
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
No. A sound wave is a pressure wave.
The number of times a sound wave is made per second is called its frequency. It is measured in Hertz (Hz).
A sound wave is made up of a series of compressions and rarefactions. In a compression, particles are close together, while in a rarefaction, particles are spread out. Sound waves travel by vibrating molecules and transferring energy through a medium like air or water.
yes a sound wave is a Compressional wave
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave.
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
