Can sound waves be a different shape than curvy?

Yes, they can. Normal sound waves (the curvy kind) are called sinusoidal, because when graphed, they use equations with the trigonometry function sine. However, sound waves can also be triangular (pointed instead of normal curves), square (flattening at the top or bottom of the curve), or "sawblade" which is shaped like a saw blade. You can listen to examples of each of these on the wikipedia page for "non-sinusoidal sound waves" which I don't have the link for not but its pretty easy to find.

What scientist studies rocks to find minerals and oil?

The scientist who studies rocks to find minerals and oil is known as a geologist. Geologists analyze the composition, structure, and processes of the Earth, which includes the study of rock formations and the identification of mineral deposits. They often work in fields like petroleum geology, where they assess potential oil reservoirs and explore methods for extraction. Their work is crucial for resource management and understanding geological history.


How do you investigate the speed o f sound?

One way to investigate the speed of sound is to measure the time it takes for a sound wave to travel a known distance, like using a stopwatch to measure the time between the sight of a lightning bolt and the sound of thunder. Another method is to use a resonance tube or other equipment to create sound waves and measure the wavelengths at different frequencies to calculate the speed of sound.

What is a method that uses sound waves to find objects underwater?

Sonar (Sound Navigation and Ranging) is a method that uses sound waves to find objects underwater. It works by emitting sound pulses and measuring the time it takes for the sound waves to bounce back, allowing for the detection of underwater objects such as submarines, ships, or marine life.

How or where can you find information about cymatic experiments but for electromagnetic waves?

"Cymatic" refers to sound waves and similar vibrations, not to electromagnetic waves. You can do some reading on electromagnetic waves - to get started, you might read the Wikipedia article - and then decide what similarities there are to sound waves.


What is the process of using reflected sound waves to find objects?

The process of using reflected sound waves to find objects is called echolocation. This involves emitting sound waves and then listening for the echoes as they bounce back off objects. By analyzing the time it takes for the echoes to return and the intensity of the sound waves, individuals or animals can determine the distance and location of objects.

How does it find the waves?

Sonar technology uses sound waves to detect objects underwater. When the sound waves hit an object, they bounce back to the device, allowing it to calculate distance, shape, and size of the object. By measuring the time it takes for the sound waves to return, sonar can create a detailed image of the underwater environment.


What are some technological applications of sound waves?

Sonar (or Sound Navigation and Ranging) is a type of technology that was designed to help with navigation, communication and locate objects underwater. Sonar projects sound waves then listens for the echo of the emitted sound waves to detect objects.


How sound waves can be used to find underwater objects?

Sound travels through water. Sound reflects from objects with different densities. You can listen for the echoes.
