The part of a sound wave where the molecules are spread apart is called?
compression
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.
Adding external protrusions to a wing (such as fuel pods water tanks and missiles) would be useful but what could one drawback be?
It can weaken the wing, it creates additional drag, and will produce a larger radar reflection.
How do the particles of energy in a longitudinal wave move?
In a longitudinal wave, the particles do not move with the wave. The particle movement is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the particles move left and right which in turn makes the other particles start to oscillate. This creates a wave. longitudinal pressure waves are also known as sound waves.
What is the difference between sound waves and electromagetic?
Sound waves requires a medium, electromagnetic waves do not. Sound waves are longitudinal waves, electromagnetic waves are transverse waves. Sound waves Travels at approx. 330m/s in air, electromagnetic waves travel at approx. 3 x 10^8 m/s.
Does Rarefaction refer to the compression of air molecules?
True.
What is the crowding together of molecules called?
a compression wave is the crowding of molecules a rarefaction is spread apart molecules
True or false A rarefaction is a region in the medium in which molecules are?
It is false it's called compression
What is the relative spacing of molecules as they are affected by compression and rarefaction?
Rarefractions and compressions both are waves that carry energy with them
Is rarefaction a high pressure area of tightly packed molecules?
No. A rarefaction is the region of a sound wave where the particles are spread out rather than close together. The closer together regions are compressions. These terms are used about waves in air, not weather systems.
What is a dense zone of moleculesproduced by a sound wave?
It is referred to as a compression. The non-dense zone with few molecules is referred to as a rarefaction.
What are the areas of a sound wave where the molecules in the medium are packed closer together?
Type your answer here... this is called a compression, and when they are spread apart it is called a rarefaction
Where is a place where molecules are far apart?
The Answer is rarefaction.
The part of a wave where molecules are spread out is under?
Rarefaction
Compressional waves caused by colliding air molecules?
Yes indeed, Sound waves will have alternate compression and rarefaction pressures. The air pressure goes above and below the average air pressure.
What is the high pressure area of tightly packed molecules?
Rarefaction
Part of a sound wave where molecules are spread apart?
rarefaction having low pressure............
