The telephone and your ears. Sound is basically the vibrations of air. Bang a drum, drum vibrates, vibrations cause air to vibrate, vibrations travel in air, reaches ear drum, ear drum vibrates, brain interprets vibration as banging drum.
A sound wave is logitudinal because the motion of the medium (air) travels in the same direction as the wave (back and forth).
They rapidly compress and rarefy in the direction of the sound wave as the wave travels.
The sound coming from the bell, and the vibration of the bell itself, is described as simple harmonic motion. The graph would be a diminishing sine wave.
a transverse wave
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
In a sound wave, particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels, while in a water wave, particles move in a circular motion.
A sound wave is logitudinal because the motion of the medium (air) travels in the same direction as the wave (back and forth).
An oscilloscope can be used to show the shape of a sound wave.
Yes, a longitudinal wave can be a sound wave. Sound waves are a type of longitudinal wave that travel through a medium by compressing and expanding the particles in the medium in the direction of the wave's motion.
They rapidly compress and rarefy in the direction of the sound wave as the wave travels.
Propagation.
In a sound wave, air particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction that the sound wave is traveling. This vibration creates a series of compressions and rarefactions in the air, allowing the sound wave to propagate through the medium in a longitudinal wave motion.
Yes, the sound wave propagation in a medium is determined by whether the sound is longitudinal or transverse. Longitudinal waves travel through a medium by compressing and expanding the particles in the same direction as the wave's motion, while transverse waves travel by displacing particles perpendicular to the wave's motion.
Pitch is not affected by the relative motion of an object. The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of the sound wave, which remains constant regardless of the object's motion.
The Doppler effect is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source. It causes the perceived pitch of a sound to change based on the relative motion between the source of the sound waves and the listener.
Sound is a wave. When an object vibrates, it causes the surrounding medium to vibrate as well, transmitting energy through a series of compressions and rarefactions. This wave motion carries the sound waves through the air until they reach our ears, where they are interpreted as sound.
A wave is a back and fro motion of particles due to vibration or oscillation, example: The sound wave which is due to the vibration of the vocal cords.
