The sound that is produced when a water glass is struck or its lip is rubbed is caused by the vibration of the glass and its effect on the surrounding air. As more or less water is added, the amount of glass that can freely vibrate changes.

What are similarities and differences between a sound waves and water waves in terms of medium?

Similarities: Both sound waves and water waves require a medium (air for sound waves, water for water waves) to propagate. They both travel in a wave-like motion, transferring energy without the physical movement of the medium. Differences: Sound waves are longitudinal waves that move through compression and rarefaction of molecules in the medium, while water waves are transverse waves that move through the oscillation of water particles. Sound waves propagate through air or solids, while water waves propagate through liquids.


What is the fundamental difference between ripple tank water waves and sound waves?

The fundamental difference between ripple tank water waves and sound waves lies in their nature and propagation medium. Ripple tank water waves are mechanical waves that travel through a liquid medium, exhibiting surface oscillations that can be visually observed. In contrast, sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves that propagate through various media (solid, liquid, or gas) via pressure variations, making them invisible to the eye. Additionally, while water waves primarily involve surface movement, sound waves compress and rarefy the medium through which they travel.


Can the Doppler effect occurs only with sound waves?

yes it is true for all waves.


How are sound waves generated in the sun?

I would expect any movement of matter to cause some sound.


How are sound waves and electromagnetic waves alike?

Sound waves and electromagnetic waves are both forms of wave propagation that carry energy. Both types of waves can be characterized by properties such as wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. However, sound waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solid material) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.

How do sound waves differ from water waves?

Sound waves are longitudinal waves that travel through a medium like air, while water waves are transverse waves that propagate on the surface of water bodies. Sound waves require a medium for propagation, whereas water waves do not. Additionally, sound waves transfer energy by causing particles in the medium to vibrate, while water waves involve the periodic movement of water molecules.


What types of waves are associated with the Doppler effect?

The Doppler effect is associated with various types of waves, including sound waves, light waves, and other electromagnetic waves. It describes how the frequency of the waves changes relative to an observer's motion.


How are sound waves and electromagnetic waves different from one another?

Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves I.E the direction of movement of each particle in the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the transfer of energy, similar to a water wave. Sound waves are transverse and so the direction of the movement of the particles in the medium is the same direction as the movement of the energy.

What waves are caused by back and forth movement vibration of an object?

Mechanical waves are caused by the back and forth movement or vibration of an object. These waves require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. Sound waves and seismic waves are examples of mechanical waves.


What is the relationship between the movement of the waves and the movement of the particles of the medium?

The dispersion relationship depends on the medium through which the waves propagate and on the type of waves (for instance electromagnetic, sound or water waves). For sound waves, the denser a medium is, the faster the waves will travel as particles will be closer together and thus energy can be transferred among them at a greater rate.


What converts sound waves into mechanical movement?

through mediums ANSWER: A speaker will covert sound waves into mechanical movement. To prove see sound feedback.


How does sound change into movement?

Movement causes the air to vibrate. This creates sound waves.


What is to and fro movement of sound waves?

The to and fro movement of sound waves refers to the vibration of particles in the medium (such as air) as the sound waves pass through it. This back and forth movement of particles creates areas of high and low pressure, which are perceived by our ears as sound.


What type of waves exhibit the Doppler effect?

All types of waves exhibit the Doppler effect, including sound waves, light waves, and water waves. The Doppler effect is the apparent change in frequency of a wave caused by the relative motion between the source of the wave and the observer.


How sound waves can be modelled with water waves?

Not very well, because they're different types of waves. They have some similar properties, but water waves are transverse waves (the water goes up and down, perpendicular to the direction of travel) and sound waves are longitudinal waves (the air vibrates parallel to the direction of travel).


What kind of waves shows the Doppler effect?

Sound Waves.
