Is a sound wave mechanical or electromagnetic?
Seismic waves are mechanical waves.
How do geologist know what Earth's interior looks like?
Earthquakes occur frequently. They create different types of waves that travel through the earth at a variety of speeds. Certain waves are also reflected and refracted by some materials. As a result it is possible to tell where boundaries are between two different types of materials. By knowing the speed the various waves travel through the various materials, it is also possible to know the density of various materials. Geologists know the material ejected by volcanoes of various types. The density in the center of the earth is the same as a mixture of iron and nickel. Just above the center of the earth is heavy material, but is a guess!
What types of waves require a medium?
Mechanical waves.For example, sound waves, ocean waves, etc.Many waves need a medium to travel: sound waves, water waves, and seismic waves.Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium.
What Types of building materials are conductors and insulators?
electrical
Types of informational materials and their sources?
there are three types...................textbooks, newspapers, instructional manuals.........................thats it!
What types of matter does sound travel through?
Sound travels through all matter but some materials either absorb sound, reflect sound, or just slow sound down.
Which types of materials can sounds pass through?
Sounds can pass through solids, liquids, and gases. The ability of a material to allow sound to pass through is influenced by factors such as density, elasticity, and thickness. Materials like air, water, wood, and metal are examples of substances that allow sound to travel through them.
What types of substances can sound not travel through?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material. Sound also does not travel through gases in the same way it does through solids and liquids because gases are less dense. Additionally, sound does not travel through a perfect insulator that completely blocks the transfer of vibrations.
What types of material can light waves travel through?
Light waves can travel through various materials, including air, water, glass, and certain types of transparent plastics. These materials allow the light waves to pass through due to their structure, which allows the waves to be transmitted rather than absorbed or reflected.
What are the materials that absorb sound?
Materials that absorb sound include foam panels, acoustic ceiling tiles, heavy curtains, carpet, and soundproofing insulation. These materials work by reducing the reflection and transmission of sound waves, thus reducing noise levels in a space.
What three types of materials affect the behavior of light?
The type of light, the distance it has to travel and the substance that it passes through.
What types of matter do sounds travel through?
rarer medium- air
What types of materials do s waves pass through?
S waves, also known as secondary waves, can only pass through solid materials such as rocks and metals. They cannot travel through liquids or gases.
Does most wave travel at the same speed?
No, different types of waves travel at different speeds depending on the medium they are traveling through. For example, light waves travel faster in a vacuum than in other materials. Sound waves travel faster in solids than in gases.
What types of materials does heat not travel through?
Heat can and does travel through all matter. It's just that some materials carry it much slower than others, and these are called insulators. The best ones being foam type materials.
Can sound bend light?
No, sound cannot bend light. Sound and light are two different types of waves with distinct properties and behaviors. Sound waves are mechanical vibrations that require a medium to travel through, like air or water, while light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum.
What types of goods travel through Mexico?
Being the 11th largest economy in the world, not only finished products travel through Mexico; foodstuffs, raw materials and capital goods move through roads, railroads and shipping lanes.
