What is the spread apart portion of a compressional wave?
Wavelength
What makes up a frequency in a compressional wave?
Think about it.
An oscilloscope can be used to produce visible pictures of sound waves. If an oscilloscope is used to measure the distance between the crests of a sound wave what property of the wave will it be measu?
Wavelenght
In a compressional wave one wavelength is the distance between adjacent compressions or adjacent?
sound wave
Matter in the medium moves forward and backward what is that called?
A wave.A wave.A wave.A wave.
How is the waveform shown on the oscilloscope different from a compressional wave?
The waveform shown on an oscilloscope represents the variations of voltage over time in an electrical signal, while a compressional wave is a mechanical wave where particles oscillate in the same direction as the wave propagation. The oscilloscope waveform is characterized by voltage changes, whereas a compressional wave is characterized by compression and rarefaction of the medium it travels through.
Is a compressional wave a sound wave?
Compressional!
Is a compressional wave mechanical or compressional?
compressional
What is found in a compressional wave?
A rarefaction is found in a compressional wave
Is the combitation of compression and rarefaction a oscilloscope?
No, the combination of compression and rarefaction refers to the propagation of a sound wave through a medium. An oscilloscope is a device used to visualize and measure electronic signals in the form of waveforms. While both involve wave behavior, they are used in different contexts and for different purposes.
Is a sound wave compressional or transverse?
A sound wave is a compressional wave, which means the particles in the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This compression and rarefaction of particles create the variations in pressure that we perceive as sound.
Why alternate current is taken as sinusoidal wave why not ramp or step wave?
sinusoidal Wave is the description of the shape that is seen on a oscilloscope display of, for example, true "House Current" The ramp wave form and step wave form are sharply different in shape and can cause problems with some electrical devices
What spread apart portion of a compressional wave?
The spread-apart portion of a compressional wave is called a rarefaction. In a compressional wave, particles are pushed together (compression) and then spread apart (rarefaction) as the wave passes through a medium.
If an oscilloscope is used to measure the distance between the crests of a sound wave what property of the wave will it be measuring?
The oscilloscope will be measuring the wavelength of the sound wave.
What is a compressional wave?
Answer 1: A compressional wave is a wave that is close together and transverse waves are waves that are going the way the wave travels. Answer 2: Basically, it's a sound wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression. Scince it is a mechanical wave it must use a medium to travel though. A sound wave is a good example of a compressional wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression.

What kinda of wave is a compressional wave?
A compressional wave is a type of wave that moves by causing particles in a medium to compress and expand in the same direction as the wave is moving. These waves are also known as longitudinal waves. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.
Another name for a compressional wave?
Sound wave
