Which travels faster-radio waves or sound waves?
Radio wave travel faster than sound wave. Radio wave is the same as light wave except at different wavelength. It travel at speed of light (3 x 108 m/s). Sound wave travel at only 330 m/s and probably can go up to 3,300 m/s in solid medium which is far slower than the speed of light.
Why do radio waves travel faster than the sound wave?
Radio waves are just low frequency light waves. They travel at the speed of light, much faster than sound waves which are just changes in pressure traveling in waves
Does a radio wave travel faster than a sound wave?
Radio waves are sound. Therefore, yes, by definition, they travel at the speed of sound.
Which state of matter does a sound wave travel faster through?
Air
What is faster a sound wave of 150Hz or a wave of 700Hz?
The sound at 700 Hz vibrates faster, but both sounds travel from place to place through air at the same speed.
Which one of the following is not an example of a mechanical wave water wave earthquake wave sound wave or radio wave?
Radio wave is not an example of a mechanical wave because it is an example of an electromagnetic wave. Mechanical waves require a medium to propagate, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
What do Sound wave not travel?
Sound wave do not travel through vaccum as it need medium to travel.
A sound wave moves from a medium where particles of matter are closely packed to a medium where particles of matter are further apart How do you expect the sound wave to travel differently?
The sound wave will travel faster in the medium where particles of matter are further apart because there will be less resistance and the particles are more spread out, allowing the wave to propagate more easily.
Is a radio wave a sound wave?
Radio waves are electromagnetic radiation.
What is the difference between a sound wave and a radio wave?
Sound wave A sound wave needs something to allow it to spread. Air, water, solids etc. This is known as a 'medium' and sound waves need a medium in order to propagate. These waves are known as 'longitudinal' waves. Analogy This is similar to a line of traffic being hit by a fast moving truck failing to stop. The resulting wave of collisions move. through the line until t reaches the first car. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum such as in space and many Hollywood movies make this mistake. Radio Waves These can travel through the air or the vacuum of space so they do not need a medium. They are generally transverse waves like ripples on a pond radiating from the transmitter
What does a decoder do in a radio?
The decoder seperates the sound wave from the rest of the radio wave.
Which travels faster a radio signal or a sound?
Radio signal being an electromagnetic wave does not need even a material medium. It has velocity so incredible which equals to that of light as 300,000 km per second. But sound is a mechanical wave which needs badly a material medium and its speed is just 350 m/s in air and some how higher in solids
