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.
What are types of waves are used in a night vision apparatus?
Infra-red waves are used in night vision apparatus.
How would you construct an acoustical Michelson interferometer to measure sound wavelengths?
The Michelson device operates on Light waves. It is not a sound apparatus. One cannot use a telescope to analyze sounds, right?
Which piece of apparatus would you use to change sound energy into electrical energy?
A microphone is a device that converts sound energy into electrical energy. Sound waves cause a diaphragm in the microphone to vibrate, which in turn generates an electrical signal that represents the sound.
What piece of apparatus would you use to change sound energy into electrical energy?
A microphone converts sound energy into electrical energy. It does this by capturing sound waves emitted from a source cause movements in a thin metallic diaphragm and an associated coil of wire. A magnetic field is developed around the coil with the help of a magnet and as the coil moves within this field under the effect of the sound waves, it produces an electric current. The amount of current produced depends on the velocity of that motion, so it is velocity sensitive.
What sound waves do?
Sound waves carry sound
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
What apparatus display sound waves?
-- A strobe light can display the mechanical vibrations in a material that generates or responds to sound, such as a loudspeaker cone, a tuning fork, or a guitar string.-- An oscilloscope can display a graph of sound vibrations, if they're first intercepted and converted to an electrical signal by means of an appropriate transducer, such as a microphone.
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
An oscilloscope can be used to produce visible pictures of sound waves. If an oscilloscope is used to measure the distance between the crests of a sound wave what property of the wave will it be measu?
Wavelenght
What does sound travel on?
Waves; sound waves.
What are sound waves and how do they travel?
Sound waves are mechanical waves. So it needs badly a material medium. Air is one such medium. Through this medium sound gets traversed in form of longitudinal waves and not in transverse mode. Even the medium is water or even metal it has to traverse only in longitudinal mode. But in strings waves could be passed both longitudinally and transversely. Using Meld(e)'s string apparatus stationary waves are produced.
