Sound travels in what kind of wave?
Sound travels in longitudinal waves, which means that the particles of the medium move in the same direction as the wave is propagating. This is in contrast to transverse waves where the particles move perpendicular to the wave's direction.
What does sound wave move fastest in?
water Dense solid objects
Where do the molecules go after they move forward in a sound wave?
After molecules in a sound wave move forward, they return to their original positions due to elastic forces. As the sound wave travels, the molecules oscillate back and forth, compressing and rarefying in a longitudinal wave pattern. This movement creates areas of high and low pressure, allowing the sound wave to propagate through the medium while the individual molecules remain relatively stationary overall.
What is the disturbance that travels through a medium as a compressional wave called?
The disturbance that travels through a medium as a compressional wave is called a longitudinal wave. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's energy propagation. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.
A sound wave moves from a medium where particles of matter are closely packed to a medium where particles of matter are further apart How do you expect the sound wave to travel differently?
The sound wave will travel faster in the medium where particles of matter are further apart because there will be less resistance and the particles are more spread out, allowing the wave to propagate more easily.
What type of s mechanical wave is a sound wave?
A sound wave is a longitudinal mechanical wave, meaning the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This distinguishes it from a transverse wave, where the particles move perpendicular to the wave propagation.
Do particles of air in a sound wave move up and down?
no, they move horizontally along the direction of the sound wave movement.
How is the motion of particles in a sound wave different from a water wave?
In a sound wave, particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels, while in a water wave, particles move in a circular motion.
What speed do waves move at?
it deepens if it is a wave in the ocean or a sound wave
Sound travels in what kind of wave?
Sound travels in longitudinal waves, which means that the particles of the medium move in the same direction as the wave is propagating. This is in contrast to transverse waves where the particles move perpendicular to the wave's direction.
Which travel faster a radio wave or sound wave?
A radio wave travels about 874,000 times as fast as a sound wave,plus it doesn't need any material to move through, as sound does.
How do particles in a sound wave move?
The move by expansion and Contraction of the medium by which they are propagated. It is transmitted in air as a longitudinal wave- which means its direction is in line with the movement of the medium.
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
An example of a longitudinal wave is a sound wave, where the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. An example of a transverse wave is a light wave, where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
How does the propagation of sound in a medium differ between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave?
In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while in a longitudinal wave, the particles move parallel to the direction of the wave. This difference in particle movement affects how sound propagates in the medium.
What are the features of sound wave?
A sound wave is a vibration of air that travels at approximately 767mph. The higher up these vibrations go (amplitude), the louder the sound is. The closer together these vibrations are (frequency), the higher pitch the sound will be.
How does sound move from place to place?
How does sound from one place to another
What kind of wave does sound move via?
transverst waves
