What else can I help you with?
Which type of wave a sound wave is?
A sound wave is logitudinal because the motion of the medium (air) travels in the same direction as the wave (back and forth).
What is the motion of the air molecules that carry sound?
They rapidly compress and rarefy in the direction of the sound wave as the wave travels.
What is the motion called when you are playing a bell?
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.
Wave motion perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving is?
a transverse wave
What are the characteristics of sound waves?
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.
How is the motion of particles in a sound wave different from a water 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.
Which type of wave a sound wave is?
A sound wave is logitudinal because the motion of the medium (air) travels in the same direction as the wave (back and forth).
What instrument can be used to show the shape of a sound wave?
An oscilloscope can be used to show the shape of a sound wave.
Is a longitudinal wave 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.
What is the motion of the air molecules that carry sound?
They rapidly compress and rarefy in the direction of the sound wave as the wave travels.
What is the motion of light or sound wave called?
Propagation.
Explain the motion of the air particles that carry a sound wave.include the direction that the sound is traveling in your explanation?
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.
Is the sound wave propagation in a medium determined by whether the sound is transverse or longitudinal?
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.
What sound characteristic is not affected by the relative motion of an object?
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.
What is The Doppler effect is the change in sound caused by the motion of the sound source motion of the listener or both?
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.
Is sound a particle or wave?
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.
Example of a wave?
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.
