Can sound waves be seen?
No, you cannot see sound waves. Sound waves move more quickly than we can process with our eyes. Technically, sound waves are invisible.
Why is diffraction of sound waves more easily observed than diffraction of light waves?
sound waves travel fast than light waves
What do you call a series of compressions and rarefactions that travel in medium?
That sounds very much like the definition of sound waves - or more precisely pressure waves, which is what sound waves are.
What are the waves called that have more energy than light you can see?
Sound because it has more waves than light.
How fast are ultrasonic sound waves?
Ultrasonic sound waves travel at the same speed as lower frequency sound waves. The medium determines the speed at which a sound wave, which is mechanical energy, can travel. Sound waves travel faster in liquids than in a gas (like air), and travel faster still in solids. The speed at which a sound wave travels is generally independent of the frequency of that sound.

The combination of two or more sound waves can cause?
The combination of two or more sound waves can cause what is known as interference.

How does sound travel through sound waves?
Sound waves are the sound. The waves cause vibrations in the objects that they collide with, and then the vibrated objects create more waves with their vibrations. An example of this would be listening to someone on the other side of a door.
How does sound travel from instruments to your ears?
Sound creates waves in a material- compression waves. These waves are transmitted through the atoms/molecules in the material to the receiver. The denser a material is, the more effectively sound may travel; this is because the sound waves are transmitted more easily through the tightly packed molecules.
What makes sound loud?
it depends how much energy is used making the sound the more energy the louder because sound waves are transverse waves and waves are a reapeating disturbance of energy

What are the waves called that have more energy than light you can see?
Sound because it has more waves than light.
What happens to sound waves as they move away from the source of the sound?
They get distant and more quieter
What do sound waves have to do with trigonometry?
Sound waves and other types of waves have sinusoidal graphs. The graph of a sound with a single frequency is a sine wave. More complicated sounds contain multiple frequencies, and their graphs can be obtained by summing up sine waves. Other sorts of waves, not just sound waves, can also be analysed as sums of sine waves. This includes light and changing electrical currents.
Why are sound waves more affected by temperature variations than radio waves?
Sound is effected by air pressure and temperature and the movement of the source. Light and radio waves are virtually unaffected by the air.
