What factors are necessary for a sound wave to travel through a medium?
well sound actually always needs a medium so it can travel, in space there's is no sound because there isn't a medium it can travel through. but just about anything is a medium for sound. air is also a great medium, that's why were able to hear one another
Why does sound not travel through space?
Sound does move through space. It doesn't move though empty space, i.e. a vaccuum. In outer space there is a vaccuum (though not necessarily a perfect vaccuum).Sound is caused by vibrations in a medium such as air (or water or wood). These vibrations compress and rarefy the medium. The vibrations move through the medium as waves.In a vaccuum, there is no medium thus there is no sound.
What is sound louder than?
Amplitude is a measure of the size of sound waves. It depends on the amount of energy that started the waves. Greater amplitude waves have more energy and greater intensity, so they sound louder. As sound waves travel farther from their source, the more spread out their energy becomes.
How are sound waves are affected by their frequency and the medium through which the sound wave passes?
The wavelength is equal to the local velocity of sound divided by the frequency, As with light, there can be refraction when sound passes from one medium to another with a different sound velocity.
Waves require a medium in order for energy to be transferred. waves can either travel through a medium or through empty space?
E.M. waves require no medium. Sound waves require a medium.
What is the opposite of the word louder?
The opposite of the word "louder" is "quieter." "Louder" refers to a higher volume or sound level, while "quieter" refers to a lower volume or sound level.
What happen to the sound when the amplitude change?
It gets louder or quieter.
What is the of a sound wave deals with the volume of the sound wave?
The amplitude of a sound wave deals with the volume of the sound. It represents the maximum displacement of particles in the medium from their rest position when the wave passes through. A higher amplitude corresponds to a louder sound, while a lower amplitude corresponds to a quieter sound.
Do louder sounds travel faster than quieter sounds?
No, louder sounds do not travel faster than quieter sounds. Sound travels at the same speed regardless of its volume.
What is an amplitude of a sound?
Amplitude is typically represented as being the "height" of a sound wave. A sound that is louder will have a greater amplitude than a quieter sound.
Does sound go quieter when it hits a material?
When sound reaches a boundary between two different media, some energy is reflected back, some is absorbed as heat, and some is transferred through the new medium. The overall effect of this is that the sound is indeed quieter in the new medium than it was in the old.
What happens the sound of a train whistle as the train approaches and then passed you?
It gets louder and then gets quieter
How does compression in longitudinal waves affect the propagation of sound through a medium?
Compression in longitudinal waves increases the density of particles in a medium, which leads to faster propagation of sound. This compression allows the sound waves to travel more efficiently through the medium, resulting in a clearer and louder sound.
Which factor determine the loudness of a sound?
The loudness of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound wave. A higher amplitude corresponds to a louder sound, while a lower amplitude results in a quieter sound. The perceived loudness also depends on the distance from the sound source and the sensitivity of the human ear.
How does the french horn change volume?
the harder you blow the louder the sound the softer you blow the quieter the sound hope this helps you ?!? xx
Do the sounds on earth sound louder on the moon?
No, sounds on the Moon would actually be quieter than on Earth due to the lack of atmosphere to carry sound waves. Sound waves need a medium to travel through, and the thin lunar atmosphere cannot carry sound very efficiently.
Does amplitude mean louder?
No. Amplitude refers to the height of a wave. If the wave is a sound wave a larger amplitude would mean a louder sound.
