Sound travels as which type of wave?
sound waves travel as longitudinal waves, that is the movement of the wave is in the direction of travel. sound is made by vibrations, therefore sound waves create areas of stretched apart air (rarefactions) and compressed air (compressions) which are areas of low and high pressure respectively.
Sometimes you feel the vibrations from a sound source before you hear the source itself Why is this?
Sound travels in waves. Our ears register these waves and convert them into noise; however, our ears can only detect a very small range of sound waves. Many sound waves have a frenquency that is much too high or too low for our ears to "hear". If you've ever blown a dog whistle and made your pup yelp in pain while you couldn't hear a thing then you understand. The vibrations that you feel are low frequency sound waves which your body can feel but your ears can't hear. It is only when the higher frequency waves get to you that you hear the source.
What is a sound wave made up of?
A sound wave is simply a vibration in the air molecules, or the molecules of some other substance. This vibration propagates as a wave, the energy gets transferred somewhere else.
Facts about sound wave?
PLEASE HELP DRESDEN HIGH SCHOOL ANSWER THIS QUESTION THANKS A TON A DRESDEN MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT AND BTW DO NOT EVER COME TO DRESDEN HIGH SCHOOL.............................................................................................................Which of the following is true of sound wavesa.)sound waves are types of transverse waves.b.)sound waves cannot move around corners.c.)sound waves move in a straight line.d.)sund waves travel i all directions.we dont completely know the rite answer but it is one of them 4 up there please help us answer it thanks dresden high school..................................You neglected to include in your question what the choices to pick from are . . . could you repost your question and include the choices, please?
A sound wave is made of a series of compressions and what?
As sound is an example of a longitudinal wave, sound has a series of compressions and rarefactions.To explain a bit more, compressions are the squeezes of the wave while rarefactions are the stretches of the wave.

How does your ear work?
The sound waves (which have to travel through some kind of matter to exist) travel in your ear, then hit your eardrums, making them vibrate. These vibrations of your eardrums send a signal to your brain, telling it what sound has been made.
What do scientists call the energy of a sound wave?
Sound is a form of energy derived from moving objects. Vibrations in air made by moving objects create sound waves.
What makes a sound a sound?
Sound is vibration of (mostly air) molecules. Humans hear sounds from about 20 Hz (=20 vibrations per second, deepest bass) to about 20.000 Hz (20.000 vibrations per sec., very high sizzling) The vibration is tranmitted from the air to your ear and your brain interprets it as a sound. So actually YOU make a sound a sound :-)
Do the sounds on earth sound louder on the moon?
No, what we call sound are vibrations that travel through and are made up of air. Just like waves on the ocean. The moon has no atmosphere so there is no "sound".
How are sound made?
Simply put, sounds are made through vibrations in the air. We can translate these vibrations into sound because of our ear drums.
How different sound made?
Different sounds are made because they make different sounds waves. Sounds are made from vibrations abd also they travel through air particles...
How are sound waves made?
sound waves are made by amplitudes
When were sound waves made?
Sound waves are made whenever and wherever there is a sound.
How a sound is made by a harp?
Vibrations from the strings.

Similarities between sound waves made by a guitar and sound waves made by a flute?
there are none
