What kind of wave are sound waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they travel from side to side, not up and down like transverse waves.
Which is not a type of electromagnetic wave?
Sound waves are not a type of electromagnetic wave. Sound waves are mechanical vibrations that require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate, whereas electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
Differences between light and sound waves?
The differences between light and sound are as follows:Light can be considered to be made of waves as well as particles. Sound is only a wave. It does not show particle nature.Light waves are electromagnetic waves while sound waves are mechanical waves.Light waves are transverse while sound waves are longitudinal.Light waves can travel in vacuum. Sound waves require a material medium to travel, and hence, cannot travel in vacuum.The speed of light in a medium is constant. The velocity of sound waves can change.In sound waves, the particles of the medium actually oscillate. In a light wave, the electric and magnetic vectors oscillate.Light waves can be polarized, but sound waves cannot.Light waves travel much faster than sound waves. The speed of light is a physical constant. Its value is exactly 299,792,458 metres per second in vacuuum. The speed of sound is 343 metres per second in dry air at 20°C.And finally, a simple one - you can see light while you can hear sound.
Is collecting sound the same as captureing sound waves?
Collecting sound involves gathering audio signals using a microphone or other recording device. Capturing sound waves refers to the process of converting these sound waves into electrical signals that can be stored or processed digitally. In essence, collecting sound involves capturing sound waves as part of the overall process.
Light and sound waves have many similar properties however light waves are what while sound waves are what?
Light waves are eletromagnetic waves and sound waves are mechanical waves. Additionally, a light wave is a transverse wave that does not require a medium through which to travel. Sound waves, on the other hand, are longitudinal waves where the source transfers the mechanical energy of the sound wave into the medium so it can travel.
What are the two sound waves called?
Longitudnal waves and Transverse Waves
Are gamma waves transverse?
Yes it is because it is in the electromagnetic spectrum and the other wave type longitudnal is for sound waves
How is sound energy used to produce and transmitted?
sound energy can be transmitted from gases,plasma andliquids and as longitudinal waves, also called a compression waves. it requires a medium to propagate. through solids it can be transmitted as both longitudnal waves and transverse waves
What type of movement does a surface wave have?
surface waves also known as longitudnal waves . they travels at constant speed on the circumference of the earth
What sound waves do?
Sound waves carry sound
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
Sound waves are examples of what?
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
What does sound travel on?
Waves; sound waves.
How do vibrations produce sound waves?
sound waves dont produce vibrations, vibrations are sound waves.
Define the term sound waves?
Waves of sound.
What can you hear but can not see?
Sound waves
