What else can I help you with?
What are trnsverse waves?
transverse waves are waves that go up and down
How does waves in the air get to a radio?
They are picked up by the antenna.
Can sound waves go through a vacuum?
No, sound waves require a medium like air, water, or solids to travel through. In a vacuum where there is no medium, sound waves cannot propagate.
What series of longitudinal waves in air and in other media are set up by vibrating bodies?
These are known as sound waves.
Why do sound waves travel faster in steel than in air or water?
steel sound waves always go faster in solids
does Air have waves?
Water waves are appearing to naked eyes, sound waves are not appearing. there are sound waves traveling in the water and air too. it may difficult to say Air has waves such as water waves.
Do sound waves vibrate the air?
No. Vibrating air IS sound waves. With no atmosphere (no air, like in space), there are no sound waves.
Which type of seismic waves can make the ground go side-to-side?
S-waves go up and down while P--waves go back and fourth.
Why astronauts use radio waves rather than sound waves?
Sound waves need air or another material to travel through, or they go nowhere. Astronauts do their job in places without air, so they couldn't be heard by simply talking.
What waves go through the earth's atmosphere?
Elastic waves, particularly sound waves and seismic waves, can travel through the Earth's atmosphere. Sound waves propagate through the air, while seismic waves are generated by earthquakes and travel through the Earth's crust and mantle.
What are the waves that travel up and down?
It need not go up and down. Assuming the wave moves "forward", the individual particles may move up and down, or left and right - or diagonally. In any case, the individual particles move at right angles to the movement of the wave, because that is what "tarnsverse" means.
How can kinetic energy travel through air?
Kinetic energy travels through air in the form of sound waves. When an object vibrates or moves, it creates waves of compressed air molecules that propagate through the air. Our ears pick up these vibrations as sound.
