What else can I help you with?
Part of a sound wave where molecules are spread apart?
rarefaction having low pressure............
What process is energy transferred when sound waves travel through the air?
Energy transfer in sound waves traveling through air occurs through the compression and rarefaction of air molecules. The sound source creates vibrations that cause these molecules to compress and expand, transferring energy as a wave through the air. This transfer of energy is what allows us to hear the sound.
In what state of matter does sound travel the faster?
Sound travels fastest in solids because the molecules are closer together, allowing for the efficient transfer of energy through the material. In liquids and gases, the molecules are more spread out, which hinders the speed of sound transmission.
What is Vibration of molecules energy called?
Gravitational Energy.
What energy transformation occurs in a bell?
sound energy
Why does sound travel slowest thru gases?
Gases have the least amount of molecules and they are spread farther apart so it takes a longer time for the sound energy to travel from molecule to molecule.
The peak of sound wave where the lowest air pressure occurs?
The peak of a sound wave where the lowest air pressure occurs is called the rarefaction. This is the point where the air molecules are spread out, creating a region of decreased pressure compared to the surrounding air.
The part of a sound wave where the molecules are spread apart is called?
compression
How does sound travel through different mediums?
Sound travels through different mediums by creating vibrations that move through the molecules of the medium. In solids, the molecules are tightly packed, allowing sound to travel quickly. In liquids, the molecules are more spread out, causing sound to travel slower. In gases, the molecules are even more spread out, resulting in the slowest speed of sound transmission.
Can sound waves travel in a vacuum.?
Sound cannot travel through a vacumNo. Sound waves can not travel in a vacuum. Sound works by having molecules of air knock against other molecules of air. Then those molecules knock against other molecules. The energy is transferred from one molecule to the next. These molecules we hear transferring energy from one to another we hear as sound. Where molecules can not transfer energy to another molecule, such as in a vacuum, sound can not exist.
How do sound compression waves travel through different mediums?
Sound compression waves travel through different mediums by transferring energy from one molecule to another. In solids, the molecules are closely packed and vibrate in place, passing the energy along. In liquids and gases, the molecules are more spread out and the waves travel by causing the molecules to bump into each other, transferring the energy through the medium.
When you shake a can of dry beans which energy occurs?
sound energy to kinetic energy
