sound waves are all around us.
the Electric Guitar will make/reflect sound waves just as it sits in the corner.
sound waves is what sound is only that sound waves is the more scientific way of saying it.

∙ 11y agoThe acoustic Guitars the sound that is caused by the vibration of the string is a sound wave. On electric guitars the vibration of the guitar strings interact with the magnetic field of the pickup, the sound that comes out of the amplifier would be a sound wave. A magnetic field is always accompanied by an electric field hence electric guitars consist of both EM waves ( originates from the guitar ) and sound waves ( originates from the amp)

What does a guitar sound wave look like?
like a guitar sound!!!
What is a type of of compressional wave made by a guitar?
Sound
The main difference between a radio wave and a sound wave is their different?
They're very different. A sound wave is a longitudinal wave and a radio wave is a transverse wave, radio waves are in the same family as light because they're electromagnetic waves whereas sound waves are just caused by particles passing on a vibration.
Which wave is not electromagnetic wave?
Mexican Wave? A non-electromagnetic wave.
Does a radio wave travel faster than a sound wave?
Radio waves are sound. Therefore, yes, by definition, they travel at the speed of sound.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum does the ultrasonic wave falls into?
An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.
Is sound an example of an electromagnetic wave?
No. Sound is a longitudinal wave consisting of mechanical vibrations travelling through matter (solid , liquid, gas, etc). An electromagnetic wave (light) is, classically, a transversely oscillating electric and magnetic field and requires no medium in order to travel.
Can electromagnetic wave deflect by electric or magnetic field?
No. An electromagnetic wave IS electric and magnetic fields.
Is a EM wave a sound wave?
electromagnetic wave is not a sound wave
What type of wave is EM radiation?
EM radiation is short for electromagnetic radiation. It is a wave in the electric and magnetic fields.EM radiation is short for electromagnetic radiation. It is a wave in the electric and magnetic fields.EM radiation is short for electromagnetic radiation. It is a wave in the electric and magnetic fields.EM radiation is short for electromagnetic radiation. It is a wave in the electric and magnetic fields.

It is a wave in the electric and magnetic fields.EM radiation is short for electromagnetic radiation. It is a wave in the electric and magnetic fields.EM radiation is short for electromagnetic radiation. It is a wave in the electric and magnetic fields.
Is sound a type of electromagnetic wave?
No. Sound is a mechanical wave, not an EM wave.
Is an electric field associated with an electromagnetic wave constant in time?
No, the electric field oscillates in magnitude and direction as it propagates in the electromagnetic wave.
In an electromagnetic wave the oscillating electric and magnetic fields are what?
In an electromagnetic wave, the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other and are in phase.
Tell how you know if a wave is electromagnetic in character?
A wave is electromagnetic in character if the wave is produced by the acceleration of an electric charge. Another indication is a wave is electromagnetic if it is propagated by the periodic variation of intensities of, usually, perpendicular electric and magnetic fields.
Is a sound wave a electromagnetic wave in nature?
No. Sound waves are mechanical waves.
What is the Doppler efect?
A change of frequence in a wave (usually in a sound, or electromagnetic wave), due to the relative movement between the source of the sound and an observer.A change of frequence in a wave (usually in a sound, or electromagnetic wave), due to the relative movement between the source of the sound and an observer.A change of frequence in a wave (usually in a sound, or electromagnetic wave), due to the relative movement between the source of the sound and an observer.A change of frequence in a wave (usually in a sound, or electromagnetic wave), due to the relative movement between the source of the sound and an observer.
