What else can I help you with?
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.
How do crest and trough relate to compression and rarefaction?
Crest corresponds to compression, where air molecules are tightly packed together, leading to a peak in pressure. Trough corresponds to rarefaction, where air molecules are spread further apart, causing a decrease in pressure. These variations in pressure create the wave-like pattern of sound waves.
What kind of waves does sound have transverse waves or compression waves?
Sound is a compressional wave.
How does sound travel as a transverse wave?
Sound travels as a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. This vibration creates areas of compression and rarefaction, which are responsible for the transmission of sound.
What does amplitude of a sound wave determine?
Amplitude is the volume of the sound in sound waves. The higher the Amplitude, the louder is the sound. Sound waves are pressure or compression waves in the material through which the sound is traveling. The pressure or compression waves also result in small longitudinal displacements of the atoms or molecules. The amplitude of the sound wave determines the range of variation of pressure, compression, or displacement.
Which type of wave has a trough and crest?
The type of wave that has a trough and crest is called a transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation, resulting in the formation of crests and troughs.
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 is the difference between A transverse wave versus a compression wave?
A transverse wave displaces particles perpendicular to the wave's direction of propagation, like ocean waves. A compression wave displaces particles parallel to the wave's direction of propagation, like sound waves.
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?
Compression happens during the part of the sound wave where the air particles are pushed closer together, resulting in an increase in air pressure. This creates a region of higher pressure within the sound wave, causing the compression of the air particles.
What are sound waves A Standing wave B Transverse wave C Longitudinal wave?
Longitudinal (also called compression) wave
What is the difference between A transverse wave versus compression wave?
A transverse wave is one where the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, like a wave on a string. A compression wave, or longitudinal wave, is where the oscillations are parallel to the direction of wave propagation, like sound waves in air.
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.
