Are surface waves compression waves?
No. surface waves on the surface of water is transverse in nature. It has crests and troughs. Compression and rarefaction will be in longitudinal wave. example sound waves.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
What makes a compression wave?
compression wave is a wave like a sound wave
Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
If one cylinder head has no compression but the other on does the car should still be able to start?
It might sputter and sound like it is trying.
What kind of waves does sound have transverse waves or compression waves?
Sound is a compressional wave.
How does rarefraction affect sound?
Rarefaction is the part of the sound wave where the air particles are the farthest apart from each other. It's like the "trough" of a transverse wave. The size of this part affects the wavelength and amplitude of the sound produced, which changes the volume and pitch. Note that there's also another part of the wave called "compression". This is like the "peak" of a transverse wave.
Compression happens during which part of the sound wave?
it happens during the trough
How do you measure the wavelength of sound?
distance from any point on the wave to the corresponding point beyond the next wavelength, i.e. crest to crest, trough to trough, or because you are talking about sound, the distance from compression to corresponding compression after the rarefaction.
Is sunlight and radiowaves a good example of compression waves?
Sunlight and radiowaves are examples of electromagnetic waves, which are transverse mechanical waves. Sound waves are compression waves.
How can the loudness of a sound be determined by the waves?
The loudness of a sound (or intensity) corresponds to the sound wave's amplitude. The amplitude of a wave is the distance from the midpoint of the wave to a high-point (crest) or low-point (trough).
Are surface waves compression waves?
No. surface waves on the surface of water is transverse in nature. It has crests and troughs. Compression and rarefaction will be in longitudinal wave. example sound waves.
What are sound waves A Standing wave B Transverse wave C Longitudinal wave?
Longitudinal (also called compression) wave
Why can't a sound wave be a transverse wave?
Sound is transmitted through gases, plasma, and liquids as longitudinal waves, also called compression waves. Through solids, however, it can be transmitted as both longitudinal waves and transverse waves. (Taken from wikipedia)
What types of waves carry sound?
sound sent through liquids or gases is called compression waves sound sent through solids is called longitudinal and transverse waves
Which of the following is not a characteristic of a sound wave?
It is also known as a compression wave
Which type of wave has a trough and crest?
what is a wave with a low, smooth crest called? what is a wave with a low, smooth crest called?
