Sound travels in what kind of wave?
Sound travels in longitudinal waves, which means that the particles of the medium move in the same direction as the wave is propagating. This is in contrast to transverse waves where the particles move perpendicular to the wave's direction.
Where do the molecules go after they move forward in a sound wave?
After molecules in a sound wave move forward, they return to their original positions due to elastic forces. As the sound wave travels, the molecules oscillate back and forth, compressing and rarefying in a longitudinal wave pattern. This movement creates areas of high and low pressure, allowing the sound wave to propagate through the medium while the individual molecules remain relatively stationary overall.
How do sound wave move from place to place?
Waves more like vibrations that's more like how they move because vibrations move throught matter and then so does sound
Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?
Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.
What is the disturbance that travels through a medium as a compressional wave called?
The disturbance that travels through a medium as a compressional wave is called a longitudinal wave. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's energy propagation. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.
What type of wave moves the fastest?
Light wave travels fastest in air Sound wave travels fastest in solid or liquid
What sound wave travels fastest?
solids
What type of s mechanical wave is a sound wave?
A sound wave is a longitudinal mechanical wave, meaning the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This distinguishes it from a transverse wave, where the particles move perpendicular to the wave propagation.
Do particles of air in a sound wave move up and down?
no, they move horizontally along the direction of the sound wave movement.
How is the motion of particles in a sound wave different from a water wave?
In a sound wave, particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels, while in a water wave, particles move in a circular motion.
What speed do waves move at?
it deepens if it is a wave in the ocean or a sound wave
Sound travels in what kind of wave?
Sound travels in longitudinal waves, which means that the particles of the medium move in the same direction as the wave is propagating. This is in contrast to transverse waves where the particles move perpendicular to the wave's direction.
What type of wave is the fastest?
The fastest wave is the electromagnetic wave. Of the seismic waves, the P-wave is the fastest seismic wave.
Which travel faster a radio wave or sound wave?
A radio wave travels about 874,000 times as fast as a sound wave,plus it doesn't need any material to move through, as sound does.
How do particles in a sound wave move?
The move by expansion and Contraction of the medium by which they are propagated. It is transmitted in air as a longitudinal wave- which means its direction is in line with the movement of the medium.
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
An example of a longitudinal wave is a sound wave, where the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. An example of a transverse wave is a light wave, where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
How does the propagation of sound in a medium differ between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave?
In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while in a longitudinal wave, the particles move parallel to the direction of the wave. This difference in particle movement affects how sound propagates in the medium.
