What else can I help you with?
Why can't you hear underwater?
Sound waves accessible by humans are attenuated in water.
What type of breezes occur because land cools off faster than water?
Land breeze occurs when the land cools off faster than the water, causing air to move from the land towards the water. This usually occurs at night.
What wave type is formed when the waves reach the Earth's surface?
Surface waves are formed when waves reach the Earth's surface. Surface waves travel along the boundary between two different mediums, such as air and land or water and land, causing the ground to move in a rolling or swaying motion. These waves are responsible for the most damage during earthquakes.
What tpyes of materials can the three waves move through?
Primary Wave can move through solids, liquids, and gases.Primary waves are formed due to the property of materials that they respond to compressional stress. As all materials(solids, liquids and gases) respond to compressional stress, primary waves can move through all phases.Secondary Wave can move through solids, but NOT liquids and gases.Secondary waves are formed due to the property of materials responding to shear stress. As fluids do not respond to shear stress, secondary wave does not move through fluids.Surface Waves move through solids along the boundary of two layers.
Which travels sound or light?
Both light and sound travel. Light travels the fastest.
What medium allows sound waves to move faster?
air, when compared to water
Do Light waves travel more slowly through air and water?
Light waves travel faster through air than through water because air has a lower refractive index than water. This means that light waves experience less bending (refraction) in air compared to water, allowing them to move faster.
Do sound waves move faster through cold or warm air?
Sound waves typically move faster through warm air compared to cold air. This is because the speed of sound is directly proportional to the temperature of the medium it is traveling through. In warmer air, sound waves have more energy and can propagate faster.
Will a sound wave move faster in winter?
In general, sound waves will travel faster in warmer temperatures compared to colder temperatures. This is because sound waves travel faster in materials with higher temperatures, as the molecules in the medium move more quickly and can transmit the sound energy more efficiently.
Can light waves travel better in water or air?
Since air has a lower optical density than water, light waves can travel faster in air.
Why do sound waves travel faster in steel than in air or water?
steel sound waves always go faster in solids
Why does sound travel faster in the water than the air?
Sound travels faster in water than air because water is denser than air, allowing sound waves to propagate more efficiently. The molecules in water are closer together, which enables the sound waves to transmit quicker through the medium. Additionally, water has higher bulk modulus compared to air, facilitating faster transmission of sound waves.
Does sound travels faster through water or air?
Sound waves travel faster through denser mediums, and water is denser than air, so sound travels faster through water than air
How would the wave speed change if the temperature of the air and water were both increase equally?
If the temperature of both the air and water were increased equally, the speed of waves in water would increase because higher temperatures lead to lower density in water, resulting in faster wave propagation. In the air, the speed of sound waves would also increase as the molecules move faster with higher temperature, leading to higher sound velocity in warmer air.
Where do the light waves coming from the pencil change speed?
The light waves coming from the pencil change speed when they move from air (faster speed) to the glass or water (slower speed). This change in speed causes the light waves to refract or bend.
Do light waves travel faster through air than it does through water?
yes
Where are radio waves faster-earth or space?
Radio waves travel with the highest speed in vacuum, and slightly slower in air. So they move slightly faster in space than on earth.
