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.

How does sound reflect plastic?

Sound waves will reflect off plastic surfaces similarly to other hard surfaces, depending on the smoothness and shape of the plastic. Smooth, flat plastic surfaces will reflect sound waves clearly, while textured or irregularly shaped plastic surfaces may scatter the sound in different directions. The acoustic properties of the plastic material will also influence the amount of sound absorbed or transmitted through the material.


Which material can be used to deflect sound waves?

Nano-Plastic


Why does the sound stop after a short time?

sound waves dissapate depending on location


Can you stop sound in mid air?

Sound propagate in the form of waves. Waves have energy so they propagate through the medium. Unless you can reflect it back , or damp the sound wave using some or the other way, it is virtually impossible to "stop" a sound in mid air


Why is a plastic cup a good sound insulator?

Hmm..... The holy lord Chuck the Norris thought about them... BECAUSE THEY ARE PLASTIC YOU DUMB-ASS. EVERYONE KNOWS PLASTIC IS A GOOD INSULATOR! Actually the don't insulate sound... sorry about that. That was my pet alien. Kind regards, Makarov Shepherd-Roach xxx ooo if ur a fit freakin teenage girl


How does sound travel through a plastic cup?

Sound travels through a plastic cup by creating vibrations in the air molecules inside the cup. When you speak into the cup, the sound waves cause the plastic to vibrate, which then transfers the vibrations to the air inside. This allows the sound to travel from one end of the cup to the other, amplifying and projecting the sound.


What sound waves do?

Sound waves carry sound


Is plastic a sound conductor or insulator?

Plastic is generally a good insulator of sound because of its low density and ability to absorb vibrations. It does not allow sound waves to easily pass through it, making it an effective barrier against noise transmission.


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


Can metal stop sound from coming thorugh?

Metal is a good conductor of sound, so it can actually amplify sound rather than stop it. To stop sound from coming through, you would need to use materials that can absorb or dampen sound waves, such as thick walls with insulation or acoustic panels.


What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?

Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
