Sound is a sequence of waves of pressure which propagates through compressible media such as air or water. (Sound can propagate through solids as well, but there are additional modes of propagation). During their propagation, waves can be reflected, refracted, or attenuated by the medium. The purpose of this experiment is to examine what effect the characteristics of the medium have on sound.

What is the type of waves of the propagation of sound in air- Longtudinal or Transversal?
The type of waves for the propagation of sound in air is longitudinal. Longitudinal waves are characterized by the vibration of particles in the same direction as the wave's propagation. In the case of sound waves, air molecules move back and forth in the direction of the sound wave as it travels through the air.
Do sound sound waves travel up or down and back or forth?
Back and forth in the direction of propagation of the sound waves.
The propagation of sound waves in gas involves?
Adiabatic compression & rarefaction.
What is the study of the production and propagation of sound waves?
That'd be acoustics
Describe an experiment to demonstrate that sound wave require a material for propagation?
No, i wont describe it...Ok, i will cock+your ass=a lot of pain (scream propagation)
What do you mean by propagation of sound?
Propagation of sound in a medium (like the atmosphere) is the collision between the medium particles driven by a vibrating object
What is the study of production and propagation of sound?
Acoustics.
What is the motion of light or sound wave called?
Propagation.
What is the study of the propagation and production of sound waves?
Acoustics.
How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?
Frequency and speed of propagation of the wave are independent of one another. The medium determines the speed of propagation.
Which is the meaning of propagation?
The act of propagating; continuance or multiplication of the kind by generation or successive production; as, the propagation of animals or plants., The spreading abroad, or extension, of anything; diffusion; dissemination; as, the propagation of sound; the propagation of the gospel.

The type of waves for the propagation of sound in air is longitudinal. Longitudinal waves are characterized by the vibration of particles in the same direction as the wave's propagation. In the case of sound waves, air molecules move back and forth in the direction of the sound wave as it travels through the air.
How does pressure affect sound wave propagation?
Only the temperature is changing the speed of sound.
What is a three-dimensional sound called?
Sound! It normally mode of propagation IS in three dimensions.
Do sound molecules move perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation?
Sound molecules traveling through air is an example of a longitudinal wave. It moves parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Do sound sound waves travel up or down and back or forth?
Back and forth in the direction of propagation of the sound waves.
The propagation of sound waves in gas involves?
Adiabatic compression & rarefaction.
