Do soundwaves require a medium?

No, soundwaves do not require a medium to travel through in a vacuum. In a medium like air or water, soundwaves propagate by creating compressions and rarefactions in the molecules of the medium, allowing the wave to be transmitted.


How do yow see soundwaves?

Soundwaves are typically invisible to the human eye as they are a type of mechanical wave that travels through a medium such as air or water. We perceive soundwaves through our sense of hearing when they cause vibrations in our eardrums, which are then processed by our brain as sound. Specialized equipment like oscilloscopes or spectrograms can be used to visualize soundwaves as waveforms or frequency patterns.


What creates soundwaves?

Soundwaves are created by vibrating objects, which cause air molecules to vibrate and spread in waves. These waves travel through the air until they reach our ears, where they are detected by our hearing organs and interpreted by our brains as sound.
