No. The energy of the wave moves thru the molecules that carry it.
I know it ends with a question mark but that is not a question, it's a statment
The quaggas of the wave, which are the midpoints, start to spasm out of control.
B. at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels
Sound travels through a medium by vibrations of the molecules in the medium .The denser the medium the easier the sound propagates.Iron has higher density than copper and therefore it travels quicker through iron than copper.
Sound waves are mechanical waves, meaning they require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids. Sound waves travel by the molecules in the medium vibrating and transferring energy to neighboring molecules, propagating the disturbance through the medium.
The molecules vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation or motion.
Sound travels through different mediums by creating vibrations that are transmitted through the molecules of the medium. These vibrations cause the molecules to bump into each other, passing the sound energy along. The speed of sound varies depending on the medium, with sound traveling faster through solids than liquids and gases.
Light travels fastest through a vacuum, such as outer space. In other mediums, such as air, water, or glass, the speed of light is slower due to interactions with the atoms and molecules in the medium.
Sound travels fastest through a nonporous solid medium, such as steel.
Sound travels faster through denser media because their molecules are closer together.
Sound travels faster through denser media because their molecules are closer together.
The material through which a wave travels is called the medium.
