When a sound wave strikes a smooth hard surface the wave is?
When a sound wave strikes a smooth hard surface the wave bounces off. This means that the wave is deflected.
What type of wave moves the fastest?
Light wave travels fastest in air Sound wave travels fastest in solid or liquid
The disappearance of a wave into a medium?
The disappearance of a wave into a medium is called absorption.
What do we see that the amplitude of a wave produces?
The amplitude of a wave produces the intensity of the wave. With a light wave, it is the intensity of the light, with a sound wave, it is how loud the sound is
Is an echo is an example of sound wave?
An echo is a sound wave that has bounced off a surface
What is typical wave motion?
Sound, waves on the surface of water (sea), light, a vibrating guitar string etc...
What is the lowest point on a Sound or light wave?
The lowest point on a Sound or light wave is called a trough.
How sound waves differ from light waves?
Sound is a longitudinal wave and a light wave is a transverse wave. Sound requires a medium to travel through but light can propagate without any medium.
The quality in sound that corresponds to color in light is?
sound and light both share wave properties (ie. frequency and wave length). unlike sound light behaves as both a wave and a particle.
How is light and sound alike?
Sound and light are alike when light is considered a wave. Light may also be considered a stream of particles, but in the times that it is considered a wave it obeys the same mathematical laws that sound does.
What features of light corresponds to loudness in sound?
The property is the amplitude, which corresponds to loudness for a sound wave or brightness for a light wave.
Are sound waves and light waves transverse?
Light is an electromagnetic wave; and those are transverse. Sound is usually a longitudinal wave.
