What else can I help you with?
Why does thunder ussually occur during storms that have lightning flashes?
The thunder is the sound of lightning but you only hear the thunder after the flash because lightning is faster than the speed of sound.
Why do reverberations occur?
The reflection of sound waves off of walls, floor, ceiling, seats, and people causes reverberation.
When does the second sound of cardiac cycle occur?
The second sound of the cardiac cycle, commonly referred to as the S2 sound, occurs when the aortic and pulmonary valves close at the end of ventricular systole as blood is forced out of the ventricles and into the aorta and pulmonary artery. This sound marks the end of the systole phase and the beginning of diastole.
Does refraction occur for both sound and light waves?
Refraction occurs for any waves, where there's a change in the medium.
What does MACH 1 have to do with sonic booms?
Mach 1 is the speed of sound. When an object travels at Mach 1, it is moving at the speed of sound. Sonic booms occur when an object travels faster than the speed of sound, creating a shockwave as it breaks the sound barrier.
What energy transformation occur in a speaker?
electrical to sound
What behavior of sound waves causes echoes to occur?
Echoes occur when sound waves reflect off of a surface and return to the listener's ears after a short delay. This behavior is known as sound wave reflection.
Is it possible for lightning to occur without making any sound?
Yes, it is possible for lightning to occur without making any sound. This type of lightning is known as "silent lightning" or "heat lightning," and it occurs when the lightning is too far away for the sound to be heard.
Is sound transverse or longitudinal in nature?
Sound is a longitudinal wave, meaning that the vibrations occur in the same direction as the wave travels.
Do interference effects occur for sound waves?
Yes, interference effects do occur for sound waves. When two sound waves overlap, they can either reinforce each other (constructive interference) or cancel each other out (destructive interference), leading to changes in the overall intensity of the sound. This phenomenon is commonly observed in musical instruments and sound systems.
Which two sounds in English never occur at the beginning of words?
The ng (ŋ) sound (as in running) and the ny(ɳ) sound (as in canyon).
What type of waves occur in the ocean?
For example, water waves, sound, light.
How does multiple reflection occur in a stethoscope?
Multiple reflections in a stethoscope occur when sound waves bounce back and forth between the chest piece, tubing, and earpieces. This repeated reflection of sound waves helps amplify and transmit the sound of the heartbeat or lung sounds to the listener's ears, enhancing the quality and clarity of the sound being heard.
Why do echoes only occur with hard surfaces?
Echoes occur only with hard surfaces because they reflect sound waves effectively. Soft surfaces absorb sound waves, preventing them from bouncing back and creating an echo.
Why would you have to watch out if the flash of lighting and the sound of thunder seemed to occur together?
The closer together the flash and thunder occur, the nearer the storm is to you.
Does a hammer make a sound when it hits a rock in space?
Yes, the potential for sound is made by the energy of the impact - (sound will occur in the hammer and in the rock), BUT the sound never leaves the hammer/rock as there is no air in space though which the sound waves can propagate.
What is the source if a sound's pitch is high?
The source of a high pitch sound is typically vibrations that occur at a high frequency. This can be caused by a sound wave with a short wavelength or an object vibrating quickly.
