Hi,
sound waves vibrate particles within a certain medium, and we can consider water as a medium just like air.
the way sound waves work is by transmitting energy from the source (you maybe) through a medium, which is water in this case making the particles in water vibrate back and forth to carry the energy (sound waves) in all directions, so a receiver somewhere below the water can hear a noise.
i hope this answered your question :)
What else can I help you with?
Sound waves cannot travel on the?
Sound waves cannot travel through vaccum.
Explain why cant sound travel through vacuums?
there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.
What substance can sound waves travel through?
Any substance!
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 does sound travel from instruments to your ears?
Sound creates waves in a material- compression waves. These waves are transmitted through the atoms/molecules in the material to the receiver. The denser a material is, the more effectively sound may travel; this is because the sound waves are transmitted more easily through the tightly packed molecules.
Through what can sound waves travel?
Sound waves can travel through mediums such as air, water, and solids.
Through what do sound waves travel?
Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids.
How do sound waves travel through water, as indicated by the keyword "sound waves travel through water" by ?
Sound waves travel through water by vibrating the water molecules, causing them to bump into each other and pass the sound energy along. This process allows the sound waves to propagate through the water medium.
Through what medium do sound waves travel?
Sound waves travel through a medium such as air, water, or solid materials.
Where do sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. In air, sound waves create vibrations that travel through molecules in the form of pressure waves. These waves carry the sound energy and allow the sound to be heard by our ears.
What are the differences between water waves and sound waves?
Water waves are mechanical waves that transfer energy through water molecules, while sound waves are longitudinal waves that transfer energy through air molecules. Water waves require a medium (water) to travel, while sound waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. Sound waves travel faster through denser mediums, while water waves travel at different speeds depending on the depth of the water.
How are electromagnetic or light waves different from water and sound waves?
Electromagnetic or light waves are transverse waves that do not require a medium (such as air or water) to propagate, whereas water and sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium for propagation. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, whereas water and sound waves cannot. Additionally, electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light, while the speed of water and sound waves depends on the medium through which they are traveling.
Sound waves do not travel through what?
Sound waves do not travel through a vacuum. They require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the sound waves to interact with and thus cannot travel.
What are 3 examples of media that waves travel through?
Air: Sound waves travel through air and can be heard as sound. Water: Water waves travel through bodies of water like oceans, lakes, and rivers. Electromagnetic spectrum: Light waves, radio waves, microwaves, and other forms of electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum or various materials.
What are waves that travel through matter called?
The type of waves that travel through matter are Electromagnetic waves.
Does energy travel through water?
Yes, energy can travel through water in the form of waves, such as sound waves or electromagnetic waves. These waves can propagate through water and carry energy over long distances.
Why can you not hear in a vacuum?
Sound waves require a medium, such as air, to travel through. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the sound waves to travel through, so there is no way for the waves to reach your ears and be processed as sound.
