Which is not a type of electromagnetic wave?
Sound waves aren't an electromagnetic wave. So aren't seismic waves. So aren't waves in the ocean, in your hair, or waves bye-bye.
Light and sound waves have many similar properties however light waves are what while sound waves are what?
Light waves are eletromagnetic waves and sound waves are mechanical waves. Additionally, a light wave is a transverse wave that does not require a medium through which to travel. Sound waves, on the other hand, are longitudinal waves where the source transfers the mechanical energy of the sound wave into the medium so it can travel.
Why aren't sound waves called transverse waves?
Because they are longitudinal waves. The direction of oscillation of the particles is parallel to the direction of propagation of the waves.
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 audio sound waves cancel each other out?
yes
How do aquatic animals interact with other animals?
by sound waves they send out
What are three ways that sound waves interact?
The three ways that sound waves interact are: reflection, diffraction, refraction.
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
Which effect is created when two sound waves that are close in pitch interact?
Beats
What is the difference between ultrasonic and infrasonic sound waves?
The sound waves which are below the audible sound are called infrasonics(<20Hz) and The sound waves which are above the audible sound are called ultrasonics(>20KHz).
What do you hear when 2 sounds waves cancel each other out?
When two waves interact via deconstructive interference, then you would hear nothing if you stood in that exact spot. If two waves interact via constructive interference, then you would hear a sound that is the sum of both waves.
What types of waves carry sound?
sound sent through liquids or gases is called compression waves sound sent through solids is called longitudinal and transverse waves
Sound waves that are musical differ in from other sound waves?
frequency
What are the two sound waves called?
Longitudnal waves and Transverse Waves
What is the name of sound waves that move through water?
They are called sound waves. Their name does not change just because they travel in water.
What do sound waves have that other waves don't?
They have the ability to trigger vibrations in our auditory organs. Other properties of sound waves are shared with mechanical waves.
What is a reflection of sound called?
A reflected sound waves is called an echo.
