Sound waves are what make up sound (sound waves=sound) so I would suppose so.

Do sound waves travel the same?

no


If four sound waves reached a source at the same time what do the waves wave do not have in common 1 amplitude 2 frequency 3speed 4 wavelenght?

First of all, sound waves propagate away from the source, not toward it.Next, if four sound waves reached the same point at the same time, there's no reasonwhy they couldn't all have the same amplitude, frequency, speed, and wavelength.Next question ?


Give an exaple of a longitudinal and transverse wave?

An example of a longitudinal wave is sound waves, where the disturbance of particles is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. An example of a transverse wave is light waves, where the disturbance of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.


Sound waves whose frequency is 300 Hz have a speed relative to sound waves in the same medium whose frequency is 600 Hz that is?

Since velocity of wave = frequency x wavelength (or v=fλ), and velocity is assumed to be the same for both since they're in the same medium,f1λ1 = f2λ2300λ1 = 9000λ2λ1/λ2 = 9000/300 = 30Thus, the wavelength of the 300Hz frequency sound wave is 30 times greater than the 9000Hz frequency sound wave.


In sound waves do compression waves move faster than rarefaction waves?

No, The sound waves itself travels at the slowest speed of its medium regardless of rarefraction or compression, which effects the frequency of the sound wave (how many peaks pass through in 1 second). So a 500hz tonal would pass through at the same time as a 50hz tonal, but the 50hz would have much less energy passing by per second than the 500hz tonal.

Why are sound waves called longitudinal waves?

That means that the vibrations are in the same direction in which the sound wave advances.


What are longitudinal waves and how do they relate to sound waves?

Longitudinal waves are waves in which the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave is moving. Sound waves are a type of longitudinal wave, where the vibrations of air particles create the sensation of sound. Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, by compressing and rarefying the particles in the same direction as the wave is moving.


What is an example of a longitudinal wave?

Sound waves are an example of Longitudinal waves. They are waves in which the particle is displaced in a parallel direction to the direction of velocity of the wave. They are formed by a compression and expansion of particles.sound is an example for longitudinal wavesound waveLongitudinal waves, also known as "l-waves", are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or the opposite direction to, the direction of travel of the wave.


Does sound waves show polarization property?

Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which means they oscillate in the same direction as their propagation. Therefore, sound waves do not exhibit polarization like transverse waves, such as light waves.


Is Radiant energy is the same as sound waves true?

No, radiant energy and sound waves are not the same. Radiant energy refers to electromagnetic radiation such as light and heat, while sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate.


What is the following true of sound waves?

Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solid materials. The speed of sound waves varies depending on the medium they travel through. Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which means they move in the same direction as the vibration of particles in the medium that carries the sound.
