no, sound waves are not circular. the top of a wave is called a crest and the bottom of a wave is called a trough. they are virtical waves.how high they are (amplitude) shows the loudness of the wave.the higher they are the greater the amplitude.how many crests pass a point in a certain amount of time is called frequency.the greater the frequency the higher the pitch.the sound waves that they do on television are just to help you explain in more.

What do waves move through?

Different types of waves move in different patterns. Ocean waves move in a circular pattern while sound waves move in a sinusoidal pattern.


What is a circular wave and what are some examples?

A circular wave is a type of wave that propagates outward from a central source in a circular pattern, with the wave fronts forming concentric circles. These waves are commonly observed in various natural phenomena, such as ripples on the surface of water when a stone is dropped, sound waves emanating from a point source, or electromagnetic waves produced by an antenna. Circular waves exhibit properties such as diffraction, interference, and refraction, making them important in the study of wave behavior and wave mechanics.
