Are Sound waves longitudinal mechanical compression waves?

Yes, sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves that result from the compression and rarefaction of molecules in a medium as energy is transmitted through it. These waves move by causing particles in the medium to move in the same direction as the wave itself.


Are Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical and compression waves?

yes


How are longitudinal waves used in communication?

All sound waves are longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.


What types of energy are transferred in longitudinal waves?

In longitudinal waves, energy is transferred in the form of mechanical energy. This energy is manifested through the compression and rarefaction of the medium that the wave travels through. Longitudinal waves are typically associated with sound waves, where energy is propagated through the compression and expansion of air molecules.


Are longitudinal waves and compression waves the same?

Yes, longitudinal waves and compression waves are the same. Both terms refer to waves where the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of energy propagation. Sound waves in air are an example of longitudinal/compression waves.


Sound waves are waves?

sounds waves are longitudinal and mechanical waves


How does compression in longitudinal waves affect the propagation of sound through a medium?

Compression in longitudinal waves increases the density of particles in a medium, which leads to faster propagation of sound. This compression allows the sound waves to travel more efficiently through the medium, resulting in a clearer and louder sound.


Sound waves are examples of what?

sound waves are a example of mechanical waves


Why Sound waves are mechanical waves?

Sound waves are mechanical waves because they require a medium for their propagation .They are also called longitudinal mechanics because they vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave and and produces compression and vibrations like that of longitudinal waves


Sound travels as which type of wave?

sound waves travel as longitudinal waves, that is the movement of the wave is in the direction of travel. sound is made by vibrations, therefore sound waves create areas of stretched apart air (rarefactions) and compressed air (compressions) which are areas of low and high pressure respectively.


What kind of wave are sound waves?

Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they travel from side to side, not up and down like transverse waves.


Why sound waves are longitudinal waves?

If the particles of the medium vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave, as in sound waves that's why sound waves are called longitudinal waves.
