Can sound waves travel through a wooden wall?
No. It is impossible to hear what is going on in the next room, and it has never happened.
Which electromagnetic waves are produced by the sun?
Visible light because some of the energy that reaches the earth from the sun is visible light. The visible light from the sun is white light. White light is visible light of all wavelengths combined. Light from lamps in your home as well as from the fluorescent bulbs in your school is also white light.
What Waves that can travel through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves.
Can waves transfer energy through liquids and solids but not through gases or empty space?
Some waves can transfer energy only through liquids and solids, but not through gases or vacuum. Some waves, like sound waves, can transfer energy through gases, liquids and solids but not through vacuum. And some waves, notably electromagnetic waves, can transfer energy through vacuum as well as matter.
Electromagnetic waves can travel through a?
Vacuum
Why do fluorescent tubes glow red at both ends only?
It has something to do with the energy waves that are moving through the bulb like a current.
What types of light bulb converts ultraviolet waves in to visible light waves?
fluorescent
Can Seismic waves travel through space?
NO! Seismic waves can't travel through space. They are mechanical waves. Mechanical waves require going through mediums and there isn't a medium in space.
How do you stop uv waves from going through plywood?
uv waves cannot penetrate plywood
What electrical power do light bulbs use?
It doesn't 'USE' any; that is, you don't have to provide any electromagnetic waves in order for a light bulb to do its job.In the course of doing its job, the light bulb PRODUCES light and heat waves.A fluorescent light also produces radio waves.
What happens to seismic waves when they pass through the liquid outer core?
There are two types of waves. There are S waves (sheer waves) and P waves (compressional waves). The S waves won't travel through the outer core because it's a liquid, but the P waves will go through it and continue going through the inner core as well.
What type of light bulb converts ultraviolet waves into visible light?
A fluorescent tube does that.
Are their risks from CFL bulbs?
Compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs contain mercury which can present a safety issue if the glass breaks. The broken glass also presents a safety hazard more immediate than mercury. Some CFL bulbs, when operating, generate electromagnetic waves and inject interfering electronic signals into the home power line which can mess up electronic devices and interfere with cordless phones, wifi and radio reception.
How are p-and s-waves arrival time differences related to the distance of a city away from an epicenter?
p waves are normally faster than s waves s waves have trouble sometimes going through solid rock while p waves travel straight through rock.
Which type of lighting is better plus candescent plus fluorescent plus eyes?
Which type of lighting is really better for ones eyes. Not which is cheeper? Many people are sensative to the fluorescent waves. I know because I am.
Can sound waves travel through a wooden wall?
No. It is impossible to hear what is going on in the next room, and it has never happened.
Lights that glow when an electric current causes ultraviolet waves to strike a coating inside a tube are called?
fluorescent lights
