this is for e2020 students. the answer is: the rope.
medium is the matter a wave trvels through
No. the individual particles are not moving in the right to left direction. rather, they moves up and down. it is the wave that is going right to left.
Longitudinal wave
longitudinal wave
The determining factor as to the softness or loudness of a sound is the amplitude of the sound wave. We know that sound is mechanical energy, and a source of sound will put mechanical energy into the medium through which it is going to travel. Let's look at the wave. The mechanical wave has a compression phase and a rarefaction phase. In compression, the source compresses the medium to impart energy. In the rarefaction phase, the source will act to decompress the medium. The sound will propagate outward in a series of compression and decompression phases. The difference between a loud and a softer sound is the degree to which a medium is compressed and rarefied during the process by which the sound energy is put into the medium. Fortunately there is a question (and an answer) that goes into this in a bit of detail. It is linked in the Related questions section.
A wave moving through a medium involves the transfer of energy without permanent displacement of the medium itself. The medium's particles oscillate back and forth as the wave passes through, carrying the wave's energy forward. The speed of the wave is determined by the properties of the medium through which it is traveling.
When a medium is disturbed by a wave, the particles of the medium begin to oscillate back and forth in the direction of the wave's propagation. This transfer of energy results in the wave moving through the medium.
As a wave moves through a medium, the particles within the medium oscillate or vibrate in the direction of the wave propagation. Energy is transferred from one particle to the next, causing a wave pattern to propagate through the medium without the actual particles themselves moving along with the wave.
No, sound waves transfer energy by compressing and expanding the medium they are traveling through, rather than by physically moving the medium parallel to the wave's motion. This creates a series of compressions and rarefactions that propagate through the medium.
Yes, a transverse wave does move the medium. In a transverse wave, the oscillations of the particles in the medium are perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is moving. This motion of the particles transmits the energy of the wave through the medium.
The speed the wave is traveling through space
Longitudinal wave energy travels by the particles of the medium moving parallel to the direction of the wave. This causes compressions and rarefactions in the medium as the wave passes through. The energy is transferred through the collisions and interactions of the particles along the path of the wave.
Sound wave is an example of a purely longitudinal wave. In a sound wave, the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave is moving, creating compressions and rarefactions as the wave travels through the medium.
A disturbance moving through a medium is called a wave. Waves can take various forms, such as sound waves in air, water waves in the ocean, or seismic waves traveling through the Earth's crust.
A wave is created when a disturbance causes particles to oscillate back and forth. This disturbance transfers energy through the moving particles in a wave-like pattern. The wave moves through a medium, such as air or water, by making the particles in the medium vibrate.
Energy in a wave moves by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer energy from one particle to another. As the wave propagates, the energy is carried forward through the medium without the particles themselves actually moving with the wave. This transfer of energy allows the wave to continue propagating through the medium.
In a wave, energy is transferred through the particles of the medium without the particles themselves moving in a net direction. The particles oscillate back and forth about their equilibrium positions as the wave passes through, allowing the energy to be transmitted without the medium as a whole being displaced. This is how waves can travel through a medium while the medium itself remains stationary.
