What else can I help you with?
Will an explosion be seen or heard first?
In most cases, the sound of an explosion will be heard before it is seen. This is because sound waves travel slower than light waves, so the sound reaches a person's ear before the light reaches their eyes.
Can sound waves come in color?
No, sound waves are invisible because it is actually a longitudinal wave caused by compressions and rarefactions. The propagation of sound waves cannot be seen, unlike what is perhaps portrayed in some cartoons for entertainment purposes. But if you are talking about a computer applet to demonstrate sound waves, then yes, it can come in colour.
How are ocean waves different from sound waves in terms of their propagation and behavior?
Ocean waves and sound waves differ in their propagation and behavior. Ocean waves are mechanical waves that travel through water, while sound waves are pressure waves that travel through air or other mediums. Ocean waves are affected by factors such as wind, tides, and water depth, while sound waves can travel through different mediums and are influenced by temperature and pressure. Additionally, ocean waves can be seen and felt, while sound waves are typically heard and can be reflected or absorbed by different materials.
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
What are 2 energy waves that cant be seen?
Heat waves (infared) and sound waves.
What travels in waves?
Mechanical waves such as sound and water waves.Electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio, microwaves, x-rays.

What sound waves do?
Sound waves carry sound
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
Sound waves are examples of what?
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
Why can supernove explosion in space can be seen but not heard?
because sound waves cannot travel through space
Does wave transmit momentum?
Yes, waves can carry momentum. This can be seen in phenomena like the transfer of momentum from ocean waves to surfers or in the pressure exerted by sound waves on a surface.
What does sound travel on?
Waves; sound waves.
