Why is it not possible to use sonar to determine the speed of an object travelling faster than the speed of sound?
Sonar is sound waves bounced off a object so if you are going the speed of sound the waves cannot bounce off the object and determine the speed of the object
What are the ways of reducing sound wave transmission?
ultraveling waves
What happens to the sound waves when it enter into vacuum?
Sound waves cannot propagate in a vacuum. Sound waves travel through matter, and a vacuum is, by definition, the absence of matter.
When the frequency of sound waves matches the natural frequency of an object the result can be?
the result is resonance
The medium through which sound waves travel affects the what?
Sound travels the fastest through dense materials, since sound is simply the transfer of kinetic energy between matter. Thus a more dense object creates faster sound waves.
What are sound waves produced by a vibrating object?
SEISMIC WAVES.Tranverse Waves.
How are water and sound waves alike?
They are both mechanical waves, which require a medium for their transmission.
Sound waves are produced by what object?
Vibrating objects.
What do machanical waves use to transfer energy?
The spring and the mass characteristics of their transmission medium are vital to the transmission of sound and vibration waves.
Why is it not possible to use sonar to determine the speed of an object travelling faster than the speed of sound?
Sonar is sound waves bounced off a object so if you are going the speed of sound the waves cannot bounce off the object and determine the speed of the object
What identifies the location of an object by bouncing sound waves off the object?
SONARecholocation
What is used to locate objects under water by the reflection of sound waves?
sonar
Why is a vibration of an object necessary for a sound wave to form?
sound waves cause the object to vibrate not vise versa
What are the ways of reducing sound wave transmission?
ultraveling waves
What does the transmission of heatelectricityor sound mean?
transmited by waves i think
The use of sound waves by some bats to navigate and find food is called what?
Bats send out sound waves which bounce off of solid and liquid materials. They then locate the where the sound wave came from and can determine where the object is and what the object is. This form of navigation is called echolocation.
What happens to the sound waves when it enter into vacuum?
Sound waves cannot propagate in a vacuum. Sound waves travel through matter, and a vacuum is, by definition, the absence of matter.
