Why does a mechanical wave need a medium?
medium is the matter a wave trvels through
If a transverse wave is moving from right to left the individual particles in the medium are moving?
No. the individual particles are not moving in the right to left direction. rather, they moves up and down. it is the wave that is going right to left.
Which wave causes the medium to vibrate only in a direction parallel to the wave's motion?
Longitudinal wave
When the particles ot the medium move back and forth along the direction of the wave motion the wave is a?
longitudinal wave
What determines if a sound is loud or soft?
The determining factor as to the softness or loudness of a sound is the amplitude of the sound wave. We know that sound is mechanical energy, and a source of sound will put mechanical energy into the medium through which it is going to travel. Let's look at the wave. The mechanical wave has a compression phase and a rarefaction phase. In compression, the source compresses the medium to impart energy. In the rarefaction phase, the source will act to decompress the medium. The sound will propagate outward in a series of compression and decompression phases. The difference between a loud and a softer sound is the degree to which a medium is compressed and rarefied during the process by which the sound energy is put into the medium. Fortunately there is a question (and an answer) that goes into this in a bit of detail. It is linked in the Related questions section.
A disturbance moving through a solid liquid or gaseous medium is called?
wave
What is the difference between a wave and a particle?
A wave is a a moving oscillation that transfers energy through a medium. A particle is an object.
What will happen when a wave travels through a medium?
when a wave travel through medium then sound is produced
The material through which a wave travels is?
The material through which a wave travels is called the medium.
Why does a mechanical wave need a medium?
medium is the matter a wave trvels through
Why does electromagnetic radiation need a medium through which to travel?
No medium is necessary for the propagation of electromagnetic radiation. This radiation is a moving wave that has an electric component and a magnetic component, and it is self sustaining after its creation. The actual energy of the wave is carried in the two moving fields of force, and not in the medium through which it is traveling. The wave travels out from its point of origin through even a vacuum. Any other medium will tend to absorb some of the energy of the wave. More information can be found be using the links below to related questions, and also the links to the related Wikipedia post on just this subject.
What is the medium through which an ocean wave will travel?
The medium of an ocean wave is water.
Does a sound wave transfer energy by moving the medium parallel to the motion of the wave?
yes
A wave that requires a medium to travel?
A mechanical wave such as a sound wave requires a medium to travel through.
What is a mechanical wave and a medium?
A mechanical wave is a wave the transfers energy through a medium If anyone know what a mechanical waves medium is add an answer to this question
How does the speed of a wave relate to the density of the medium it is traveling through?
The faster the wave, the denser the medium
Medium for the wave?
The medium of any wave is the material that the wave energy travels through; in this case water.
