according to the equation v=1/2{gamma *pressure /density}
sound waves are slowed down by=decreasing pressure
and increasing volume,temparature,density of the medium

What kind of wave are sound waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they travel from side to side, not up and down like transverse waves.
How do sound waves move?
Sound is vibration transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas. To see sound waves as longitudinal waves in air moving, scroll down to related links and look at "Longitudinal wave - Wikipedia".
Is collecting sound the same as captureing sound waves?
Sound waves are what make up sound (sound waves=sound) so I would suppose so.
Which is not a type of electromagnetic wave?
Sound waves aren't an electromagnetic wave. So aren't seismic waves. So aren't waves in the ocean, in your hair, or waves bye-bye.
What slows down the rate of cell division?
Cold slows down cell division.
The part of the Earth that stops or slows down seismic waves?
cacacacacacaca
When light waves enters a more dense material it?
slows down i think
What happens to the speed of sound as a medium cools?
it slows down
What kind of wave are sound waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they travel from side to side, not up and down like transverse waves.
Which kind of waves are sound waves?
compressional waves they swerve up and down
Do sound sound waves travel up or down and back or forth?
Back and forth in the direction of propagation of the sound waves.
What happens when sound is traveling through a liquid?
It slows down an becomes distorted.
How does sound react with different phases of matter?
Sound waves have to go through a medium, or matter. Usually the medium is air, but they can go through any matter. Sound waves cannot exist in outer space because there is no matter for the wave to travel through. Sound waves travel at different speeds, depending on the medium. This is similar to light, because light slows down in mediums other than air (eg. water, crystal, ect.)
How does sound waves in ocean help dolphins communicate?
When sound originate in the water, the sound waves tend to refract down, toward the cooler water.
How do sound waves move?
Sound is vibration transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas. To see sound waves as longitudinal waves in air moving, scroll down to related links and look at "Longitudinal wave - Wikipedia".
How are light and sound different?
Different is the speed of propagation. Scroll down to related links and look at "Acoustic or sound waves in air - Radio and light waves in a vacuum".
What is the instrument used to send down sound waves in the sea?
an amplifier
