In hot air are particles closer together?
No, farther apart.
What is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are close together called?
Compression is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are crowded together. Rarefaction is the part where the particles are spread apart.
What is the distances between compression and rarefaction of longitudinal wave?
Compression is the areas where the particles are closer together. Rarefaction is the areas where the particles are stretched apart.
Area in which sound waves are pushed together?
This question is misguided. It is not the sound waves which are apart, but the particles of the medium. A place where the particles are further apart is called a rarefaction. Where they are crowded together is called a compression.
What phase has tightly packed particles?
The phase when the particles are most closely packed together is the solid form. liquid is farther apart, and gases are even farther.
Are air particles of sound far apart or close together?
high sound particles are near, and low sound as far apart particles.
Are the particles in steam close together?
steam is a gas so the particles are far apart
How are particles of a liquid different from the particles of a solid?
The particles of a solid are close together and the particles of a liquid are slightly farther apart.
In hot air are particles closer together?
No, farther apart.
As you get higher in the atmosphere does the particles get closer together or farther apart?
the particles get closer together because my class just talked about that stuff!!
What is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are close together called?
Compression is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are crowded together. Rarefaction is the part where the particles are spread apart.
Which is measure of how closely particles are packed together?
The measurement of how closely particles are packed together is usually by state of matter. Gasses are measured as have particles that are further apart than liquids or solids for example.
What depends upon how close the individual particles are together?
The state of matter depends on the closeness of the particles. Gases have particles that are very far apart and solids are close together. This is determined by the strength of attraction of these particles to one another.
Are air particles close together or far apart?
far apart because heat always has more kinetic energy
What is the distances between compression and rarefaction of longitudinal wave?
Compression is the areas where the particles are closer together. Rarefaction is the areas where the particles are stretched apart.
What spreads as the plates move apart?
earthquakes
Are the particles of gas are packed tightly together?
No, they are not packed tightly together. The particles in solids are. In gas, they move in random motion and are the furthest apart, compared to solids and liquids. Hope this helps :)
