Do sound waves always travel in straight lines explain?
No, Sound is a pressure wave not a linear wave, the waves radiate spherically from their point of origin. Also as a pressure wave, it travels in a medium and if that medium is moving the sound wave propagation can be modified by that movement (bent). They also behave like sea waves impinging on a headland and can be bent round objects in their path in complex ways.
What is infrasound wave?
Infrasound waves are sound waves with frequencies below the lower limit of human audibility, typically below 20 Hz. These waves can be produced by natural phenomena like earthquakes and thunderstorms, as well as man-made sources such as industrial machinery and aircraft. Infrasound waves can have unique properties and can impact humans and animals in various ways.
What are four different things that can happen to the waves when they meet an obstacle?
In general waves can: Wrap around the obstacle. This happens when the wavelength is larger than obstacle size. Bounce back as an echo off the obstacle. This happens when the wavelength is shorter than the obstacle size. Be absorbed by the obstacle. This occurs when the natural frequency of the obstacle matches the frequency of the wave...so-called resonance. Pass through the obstacle. There are several ways this can happen. But visible light passing through a glass window is one example.
Why do these changes occur when a tsunami wave is approaching the shore?
When a tsunami wave approaches the shore, two main changes occur: the water level rapidly decreases offshore as the wave pulls water toward it (causing the ebb phase) and then rapidly rises as the wave reaches the shore (causing the flow phase). This phenomenon is due to the displacement of water by the tsunami wave as it travels towards shallower waters.
What are some effective ways to offset your carbon footprint?
Some effective ways to offset your carbon footprint include reducing energy consumption, using public transportation or carpooling, supporting renewable energy sources, planting trees, and purchasing carbon offsets.
What are the sound wave forms?
The main sound wave forms are sine waves, square waves, sawtooth waves, and triangle waves. Each wave form has its own unique sound characteristics and is used in different ways in sound synthesis and music production.
What is the smallest unit of sound wave energy?
The smallest unit of sound wave energy is the phonon. The phonon and the photon and the electron can in some ways all behave like a small particle.
Do sound waves always travel in straight lines?

What sound does an ocean wave make?
As the water molecules from the ocean move in different ways, you can hear the various vibrations of soundwaves emitting from the friction of the molecules against themselves and the sand/rock/etc.
What is wave sampling in laymans terms?
A wave is what a sound LOOKS like. Loud parts of the sound would be the high part of the wave on your screen and quieter parts of a sound or song would be the small low thin parts of the wave. Wave sampling is not a very common term since most people just call it "sampling", is the method in which you would cut a "wave" or a " sound" out of a song using a computer program or mpc device so that you can use that sound for another purpose (most likely to use as a sound effect or as an instrument sound for another song). See the link below that says "wave sound" or copy and paste the url address below this. http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/WD-WCAG20-TECHS/working-examples/G56Audio_4.jpg
what are two ways in which ultrasound technology produces images?
By using sound in frequencies that reflect off body tissues. By measuring the time it takes for the reflected sound wave to be detected. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) (I made a smiley face man :D)
In what ways are sound waves like ocean waves?
Sound waves are like ocean waves because it resembles an ocean wave with crests (peak) and troughs (valleys). The crests indicate regions of high pressure and the troughs, low pressure.
What are some ways sound sound are alike and different?
Sound and light are alike in that they both travel in waves, can be absorbed, reflected, or refracted, and both have frequencies and wavelengths. They are different in that sound requires a medium to travel through (such as air, water, or solid materials) while light can travel through a vacuum. Additionally, sound waves are longitudinal, with particles vibrating in the same direction as the wave, while light waves are transverse, with particles vibrating perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
What are TWO ways a wave can form?
One is wind
What is the passage of an EM wave through a medium?
when EM waves encounter a material medium, they can interact with it in much the same way that mechanical waves do. A mechanical wave transfer energy in two ways. As it travels, the wave moves potential energy from one place to another.
