What else can I help you with?
Do particles of air in a sound wave move up and down?
no, they move horizontally along the direction of the sound wave movement.
Does outerspace have sound?
Outerspace has no sound. This is because outerspace is essentially devoid of matter, and matter is required for sound. Sound is a physical phenomenon of a travelling pressure wave, and in space there is essentially no gas or media to transmit a wave.
What determines if a sound is loud or soft?
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.
Where do sound waves cannot travel?
it can't travel in a vacuum, it needs medium to travel
What does a decible measure?
I think the decible is a unit of measure ofpressure in a sound wave.
A wave that can only travel through some type of matter?
sound wave .
What type of sound wave are they that they allow sound to travel?
Sound waves are pressure waves.
Is sound a type of electromagnetic wave?
No, sound is not a type of electromagnetic wave. Sound is actually a mechanical wave that requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves like light do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
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 can travel only through some type of matter.?
A sound wave
What do Sound wave not travel?
Sound wave do not travel through vaccum as it need medium to travel.
Which type of wave is sound?
Sound is a type of mechanical wave, specifically a longitudinal wave that travels through a medium such as air, water, or solids. It consists of compressions and rarefactions that create variations in air pressure which are perceived by our ears as sound.
What is the longitudinal wave that can travel only through matter?
A sound wave is a longitudinal wave that can travel only through matter, such as air, water, or solids. This type of wave involves the vibration of particles in the medium parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. Sound waves require a medium to propagate and cannot travel through a vacuum.
What type of wave is an echo an example of?
An echo is an example of a reflected sound wave. Sound waves travel from the sound source and bounce off surfaces before reaching the listener's ears, creating the sensation of hearing the sound again.
What type of sound wave does a dog have?
Every type of sound wave produced is a longitudinal wave.
Can sound wave travel through space or matter?
Type your answer here... yes because of the vibration
Does sound travel?
Yes, sound is a wave and it travels when there is a medium for it to travel through.
