What else can I help you with?
Are sound waves transverse waves or compressional waves Why?
Compressional, gasses can be compressed but cannot be wiggled side to side.
What kind of waves does sound have transverse waves or compression waves?
Sound is a compressional wave.
Which kind of waves are sound waves?
compressional waves they swerve up and down
What and how are compressional waves formed?
by seismographic sound and vibrations
What waves causes compressional waves caused by colliding air molecules?
Sound Waves
Can compressional waves travel through a vacuum?
No, compressional waves require a medium to travel through, so they cannot travel through a vacuum where there is no matter. Sound waves, which are compressional waves, cannot propagate through a vacuum.
What is natural sound?
a vibrating body moves to and fro around its rest position and produces compressional waves in the surrounding medium. these compressional waves are called the sound waves which trevles from one place to another.
Does sound travel in a compressional or surface wave?
Sound travels in compressional waves, also known as longitudinal waves, where the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's motion.
What are three facts about compressional waves?
Compressional waves are also known as longitudinal waves, where particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. These waves are characterized by the compression and rarefaction of the medium they travel through. Examples of compressional waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
What waves can be either transverse or conpressional?
Electromagnetic waves can be either transverse or compressional, depending on their polarization. Transverse waves have oscillations perpendicular to the direction of propagation, while compressional waves have oscillations parallel to the direction of propagation. For example, light waves are transverse, while sound waves are compressional.
What is a compressional wave caused by colliding air molecules?
Sound Waves
Which one of the following is NOT an example of a compressional wave a wave moving through a coiled spring sound traveling through the air sound traveling through water green light traveling thru air?
Light is an example of an electromagnetic (EM) wave. EM waves are transverse waves, not compressional waves. Sound waves are compressional waves, so both sound traveling through air and water would be compressional. Waves traveling along a coiled spring compress the coils together and spread them apart, so this is also an example of a compressional wave.
