What else can I help you with?
How does sound travel through the air?
it travels because there are sound waves in the air and they vibrate in your ear.
What is the opposite of a longitudinal wave?
Longitudinal waves consist particles in a medium (ex of a medium= air) vibrate back and forth in a parallel direction to the direction of the wave is traveling. Example of a longitudinal wave are sound waves. Boom! Opposite of longitudinal waves would be a transverse wave where instead of particles moving in a parallel direction, transverse waves vibrate in a medium, side by side perpendicular to the direction the wave travels to. Example of a transverse wave is a light wave. Hope this helped =]
A wave in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave is called a wave?
false, they vibrate parallel
What state is the matter in when all molecules are just vibrating around?
All forms except a Bose-Einstein condensate, which only occurs at absolute zero.
Explain what heat is in 6th grade in science?
Heat is when molocuels vibrate or when two things rub against each other and create friction, which makes heat. The way heat travels... Conduction: Heat that travels through a liquid or gas Radiation: Heat that travels through as waves Convection: Heat that moves through a solid Hope I helped... :)
In a transverse wave that travels through a medium the molecules of the medium vibrate in which direction?
The molecules vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation or motion.
In a transverse wave that travels through a medium how do the molecules of the medium vibrate?
The quaggas of the wave, which are the midpoints, start to spasm out of control.
The matter through which a wave travels is called what?
a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.
Which direction do the particles vibrate in a transverse wave?
In a transverse wave, the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This means that the particles move up and down or side to side as the wave travels forward.
What makes noise on earth but not on space?
Sound travels in waves like light or heat does, but unlike them, sound travels by making molecules vibrate. So, in order for sound to travel, there has to be something with molecules for it to travel through. On Earth, sound travels to your ears by vibrating air molecules. In deep space, the large empty areas between stars and planets, there are no molecules to vibrate. There is no sound there.
When the temperature wave that travel through a medium the molecules of the medium vibrate?
B. at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels
Transverse waves vibrate to the direction it travels?
Yes, in transverse waves, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling. This causes the medium to oscillate up and down or side to side as the wave passes through it. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and radio waves.
How does the pitch change the density of an object it travels through?
It makes the molecules vibrate so the density chages. Your question is a bit unclear.
What are waves in which the particles vibrate back and forth along the path that the wave travels?
Compression waves (as opposed to transverse waves).
What particles in a wave vibrate perpendicularly to the direction the wave travels?
Transverse waves have particles that vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This means that the particles move up and down or side to side as the wave travels forward. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.
How does sound travel through materials?
sound travels through materials through molecules as we talk through our vocal box the molecule present in the air material start to vibrate it is because the material contain air as they vibrate we hear sound
What type of energy is the movement of waves that vibrate air molecules?
The movement of waves that vibrate air molecules is known as sound energy. This type of energy travels through the air in the form of pressure waves, which are detected by our ears and interpreted by our brains as sound.
