What else can I help you with?
What are the 3 things you need for sound to be heard?
You need a source that produces sound waves, a medium through which the sound waves can travel (like air, water, or a solid material), and a receiver (like ears or a microphone) that can detect and interpret the sound waves.
What waves need a medium and which don't?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and ocean waves, require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, including light waves and radio waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
How do sound waves travel what do sound waves need in order to travel?
Sound waves travel by causing particles in a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to vibrate back and forth. They require a medium to travel through, as they cannot travel in a vacuum. When a sound source, such as a speaker or a voice, vibrates, it creates compressions and rarefactions in the medium, which propagate as sound waves.
What are sound waves called?
Sound waves are called mechanical waves cause they need a material medium for their flow. Not only are they mechanical, but compression & lonqitudinal. -Apex:)
Do sound require a medium?
Sound waves need a medium to propagate. Light-waves and other electromagnetic wave (radio, xray) do not.
What wave that need a medium in order to propagate?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, require a medium in order to propagate. These waves travel by transferring energy from one part of the medium to another. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, can propagate through a vacuum as they do not require a medium.
Is a sound wave a electromagnetic wave in nature?
No, a sound wave is not an electromagnetic wave. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum and do not need a medium. Sound waves are disturbances in a medium caused by vibrations, while electromagnetic waves are fluctuations in electric and magnetic fields.
Why sound need medium while it propagation?
Because sound waves are mechanical vibrations of material matter. You can't have sound waves in a space where there's no material to vibrate.
Why can electromagnetic waves travel through space and not sound waves?
Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel because they are fluctuations in electric and magnetic fields. On the other hand, sound waves are mechanical waves that need a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate because they rely on the vibration of particles in the medium to transfer energy. This is why sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space.
Light waves differ fundamentally from either water waves or sound waves because?
light waves do not require a medium to travel through, unlike water and sound waves which both need a medium (water and air, respectively). Light waves are electromagnetic in nature and can travel through a vacuum. They have different wave properties such as wavelength, frequency, and speed compared to water and sound waves.
What types of waves require a medium?
Mechanical waves.For example, sound waves, ocean waves, etc.Many waves need a medium to travel: sound waves, water waves, and seismic waves.Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium.
What are waves that need a media?
Mechanical wavesMechanical waves need a medium to move through. An example is sound moving through the air. Sound is a compressional mechanical wave and the medium is the air. That's why there isn't any sound in space.
