What type of waves are sound waves and how do they transfer energy?

Sound is manifested as a compression wave in a medium. the energy compresses and rarefies the medium transferring the energy to another location (and getting dissipated along the way).


Is a thermometer a thermal insulator?

It depends on the material out of which the dish is made. Materials are considered conductive if they transfer heat faster than the surrounding medium and insulators of the transfer heat slower than the surrounding medium. If the medium is air, a glass dish will be a thermal insulator but a metal dish will be a thermal conductor.The rate at which heat flows through a material is related to its thermal conductivity.


Which transfer of energy occurs mainly through the process of convection?

Energy transfer by convection is primarily restricted to fluids. One of the significant modes of heat transfer is convective heat transfer.


By which mode of heat transfer heat is transferred in solids?

the process of transfer of heat energy in solids is known as conduction.. For more info-- the process of transfer of heat energy in liquids and gases is known as convection.. And the process of transfer of heat energy without any material medium is known as radiation..


Does conduction require a medium?

Yes. Conduction involves the transfer of thermal energy without any movement of the material medium. For example, when one end of a metal rod is heated, the atoms at that end of the red vibrate more vigorously (gain kinetic energy), and they will collide with the neighbouring less energetic atoms and transfer its kinetic energy them and so on. Without these particles, thermal energy cannot be tranferred through conduction. The only form of thermal energy transfer which does not require a material medium (i.e., the atoms and molecules) is infrared radiation.

Which method of heat transfer use a medium?

Both conduction and convection require an intervening medium, but convection requires the medium to be able to move.


Is a wire transfer a negotiable instrument?

No You are asking if the medium of transfer is a negotiable instrument It is not. A wire transfer represents the medium (or method) of transfer. It is like asking if the stage coach transporting the money is a negotiable instrument, it is not. Money itself is a negotiable instrument, the medium itself is not.


What do waves not transfer?

There are lots of things they don't transfer.


Which heat transfer doesn't require a medium?

Radiation is the heat transfer method that does not require a medium. It can occur through empty space, such as from the sun to the Earth, without the need for a material medium.


Do waves transfer into medium?

Yes, waves transfer energy and information into a medium as they propagate through it. This transfer of energy causes particles within the medium to oscillate and transmit the wave's energy along its path. The medium itself does not move with the wave, but rather the disturbance created by the wave is propagated through the medium.


What types of energy transfer requires a medium?

Its either sound, visible light,xrays.ultraviolet light


Does a wave transfer a medium from one place to another?

No, a wave does not transfer a medium from one place to another. A wave transfers energy through a medium by causing particles within the medium to oscillate back and forth. The medium itself does not move with the wave motion.


Do light waves transfer energy through a medium?

No, light waves do not transfer energy through a medium. They can propagate through a vacuum where there is no medium present. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that carries energy but does not require a medium for its transmission.


What happen when a colony which is growth in NA medium transfer to a MA medium?

by adding sodium


What do transverse and longitudinal waves transfer through a medium?

Transverse waves transfer energy through a medium by oscillating perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion, creating crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves transfer energy through a medium by oscillating parallel to the direction of the wave's motion, causing compressions and rarefactions in the medium.


In which mode of transfer of heat does the medium not get heated up?

Infrared radiations. They do not require any medium. So they don't heat any medium. They don't even heat the air through which they pass.


What does mechanical waves not transfer?

Mechanical waves do not transfer matter. These waves transfer energy through a medium (such as air, water, or solids) by causing particles of the medium to oscillate back and forth in the direction of the wave.
