What else can I help you with?
Are sound waves transvers or longitudnal?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which means that the particles in the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. This is in contrast to transverse waves, where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation.
Can you use sound waves like a rocket to move through space in a ship of some kind so can sound waves propel you forward in space?
Sound can only move through matter. For example, when you speak, the vibration of your vocal chords create vibrations in the air, and each vibrating air molecule causes adjacent air molecules to vibrate, and those air molecules make other air molecules vibrate, and so on as the air "propagates" the sound waves. Space is a vacuum, so sound cannot travel through space.
An insect that produces waves in the water and in the air what can these air vibrations produce?
These waves in the air are called Sound waves, waves that vibrate in the air and if your hearing is good these vibrations will vibrate our ear drums and cause us to hear them as noise or sound.
What must happen in order for sound waves to form?
Something must vibrate, to make the air (or whatever else the sound travels through) vibrate.
What kind of waves make up sounds waves?
Sound waves are made up of longitudinal waves. This means that the particles of the medium in which the sound is moving vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave.
Do sound waves vibrate the air?
No. Vibrating air IS sound waves. With no atmosphere (no air, like in space), there are no sound waves.
How can one create sound waves?
Sound waves are created by vibrating objects, which cause the surrounding air particles to also vibrate. These vibrations travel through the air as waves, producing sound that can be heard by our ears.
How are sound waves produced by vibrating objects?
Sound waves are produced when objects vibrate, causing the air particles around them to also vibrate. These vibrations create changes in air pressure that travel through the air as sound waves.
When vocal cords vibrate they produce?
Sound. Vibrating vocal cords produce sound. The speed at which they vibrate determines whether the sound is high pitched or low pitched.
Do vibrating particles make up sound?
Yes, vibrating particles create sound waves. As an object vibrates, it causes nearby air particles to also vibrate, creating compressions and rarefactions that propagate as sound waves. Our ears detect these sound waves and process them as sound.
What type of waves is produced by a moving or vibrating objects?
Sound waves are produced by a moving or vibrating object. When an object vibrates, it causes the surrounding air molecules to also vibrate, creating a disturbance that propagates through the air in the form of sound waves.
What is the sound produced from vibrating air molecules?
Sound waves are produced from vibrating air molecules. When an object vibrates, it causes the air molecules around it to also vibrate, creating changes in air pressure that travel as sound waves through the air.
Does sound waves cause objects to vibrate?
Sound waves are detected by the fact that the waves can cause objects to vibrate. The vibrations from the sound waves must be converted into a signal and then amplified and processed. Your ear and a microphone are common detectors of sound.
How does the process of vibrating objects make sound waves?
When objects vibrate, they create disturbances in the air molecules around them. These disturbances travel as waves through the air, which we perceive as sound.
Does sound travel by air vibrating?
Sound waves exist as variations of pressure in a medium such as air. They are created by the vibration of an object, which causes the air surrounding it to vibrate. The vibrating air then causes the human eardrum to vibrate, which the brain interprets as sound. Go to the link below to find out more... http://www.mediacollege.com/audio/01/sound-waves.html
What vibrates in a telephone?
In a telephone, the electronic components, such as the speaker or the vibrating motor, vibrate to produce sound waves that are then converted back into sound that you can hear. When you receive a call, the vibrating motor is activated to create the ringing sound you hear.
What creates soundwaves?
Soundwaves are created by vibrating objects, which cause air molecules to vibrate and spread in waves. These waves travel through the air until they reach our ears, where they are detected by our hearing organs and interpreted by our brains as sound.
