which kind of sound is produced by sound waves with peaks that are very close together?


What kind of sound waves do vacuums produce?

The vacuum does not produce sound waves nor, can sound waves travel through them. A sound wave needs something to travel on/through, such as air. A vacuum doesn't contain any particles required for sound waves.


What kind of waves use matter to carry energy?

Sound.


What kind of waves carry sound energy?

Sound energy is carried by mechanical waves known as longitudinal waves. These waves propagate by causing the particles of a medium to vibrate back and forth in the direction of wave travel, thus transmitting sound energy through the medium.


Is sound energy or matter?

Sound is a form of energy that is produced when objects vibrate and create compression waves through a medium like air. Sound energy can be heard and has the ability to travel through different mediums, but it is not considered matter itself.


What kind of energy conversions take place in a loudspeaker?

In a loudspeaker, electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy as the electrical signal from the amplifier is used to move the speaker cone back and forth. This mechanical energy then creates sound waves that travel through the air to produce sound.


What kind of energy does electrical appliances produce?

thermal light and sound


Which kind of waves are sound vibrations made of?

Sound vibrations are made of mechanical waves known as longitudinal waves. In these waves, the particles in the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This vibration causes a transfer of energy that our ears perceive as sound.


What kind of wave does sound make?

Sound is a compression wave. Waves are basically movements in the medium through which energy travels. Compression waves cause the medium to move parallel to the energy movement. Electromagnetic waves, although they do not require a medium, move parallel to the transfer of energy.


What kind of waves does sound have transverse waves or compression waves?

Sound is a compressional wave.


How are sound waves blocked?

Sound waves can be blocked by materials that absorb or reflect the energy of the waves, such as dense objects like walls, barriers, or insulation. Absorption materials dampen the sound energy by converting it into heat, while reflective materials bounce the sound waves away from the source. Combination of these blocking techniques can effectively reduce the transmission of sound waves.


How are sound and light energy alike?

Sound is made out of waves and Light is made out of things called wave-particles and are kind of like waves, but not always. But if you mean Sound energy and Light energy I don't really know wat you mean with Sound energy
