What is the relationship between the movement of the wave and the movement of the particles of the medium?
The dispersion relationship depends on the medium through which the waves propagate and on the type of waves (for instance electromagnetic, sound or water waves). For sound waves, the denser a medium is, the faster the waves will travel as particles will be closer together and thus energy can be transferred among them at a greater rate.
What would happen if you reduced the amplitude of a sound wave?
Because sound waves are displacements of molecules of the medium they travel through, reducing the amplitude would mean decreasing the displacement the molecules experience as the wave passes through. Even though sound waves are longitudinal (meaning the displacement is in the direction the wave travels in) and waves in water are transversal (the displacement is perpendicular to the wave's direction), an example can be found in water waves; reducing the amplitude in water waves would reduce the size/height of the waves. In the case of audible sound waves reducing the amplitude will decrease the volume of the sound.
What is released when waves break?
When waves break energy is released- sound or noise is an indicator of a change in energy. Also, because waves move so fast, when they fold and hit the water, the bonds between the molecules break apart to release energy.
What waves are caused by colliding air molecules?
Brownian movement, Brownian motion, or pedesis is the random movement of particles suspended in either a liquid or a gas. This is the movement that you see when sunlight is streaming through a window and you see the dust particles randomly moving. This movement helped to prove the existence of atoms and molecules. Many scientists, including Albert Einstein, used this motion to describe movements in the stock market, among other things!
How do waves travel?
there is several ways that waves can move. waves can move by wind. the energy passes to the water causing waves. The better answer. Waves move because they are a movement of energy through a medium. The wave entails two parts, which are the crest and trough. The wavelength is the distance between two crest. The wave height is the distance between a crest and trough.
Is water waves a electromagnetic wave?
No, water waves are mechanical waves that result from the movement of water molecules. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, are waves of energy that do not require a medium to travel through and include light, radio waves, and microwaves.
Water waves are caused by wind which is directly caused by the?
The movement of air molecules. As air flows over the surface of the water, it transfers energy that causes ripples and waves to form.
What kind of energy is the movement of atoms molecules waves and electrons?
Actually Thermal energy is produced by the movement of atoms and molecules!!
How would you explain a bottle moving across the water in the same direction that the waves are traveling?
The bottle is likely being carried by the current or the movement of the water caused by the waves. The direction of the waves propels the bottle forward, moving it in the same direction as the waves.
How do sound waves differ from water waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves that travel through a medium like air, while water waves are transverse waves that propagate on the surface of water bodies. Sound waves require a medium for propagation, whereas water waves do not. Additionally, sound waves transfer energy by causing particles in the medium to vibrate, while water waves involve the periodic movement of water molecules.
What kind of energy is the movement of atoms molecules waves and electrons is?
Actually Thermal energy is produced by the movement of atoms and molecules!!
Can rhythmic movement of air molecules produce electromagnetic waves?
No, the rhythmic movement of air molecules does not produce electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves are generated by the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields and do not require a medium, such as air, to propagate.
The movement of atoms molecules waves and electrons is what type of energy?
The movement of atoms, molecules, waves, and electrons is associated with kinetic energy. This type of energy is related to the motion of an object or particles.
What is transferred by water wave?
Energy and momentum are transferred by water waves. As the water molecules move in a wave motion, they transfer energy from one point to another. This energy transfer creates the movement we observe in water waves.
How wave transfer energy?
A wave transfers energy by displacing molecules. They are displaced parallel to propagation.
Type of radio waves that excites water molecules?
Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. The EM waves used in microwaves are chosen speciiffically for there ability to excite water molecules.
What does contrast electromagnetic waves with water and sound waves mean?
It means explain how electromagnetic waves are different than water and sound waves.
