Waves do not have mass and volume. They transmit energy without transmitting mass. However, waves can be found in solid materials such as earthquakes.

If a train crashes and no one is there does it make a sound?

YesIt does due to the mass and sound waves.


Do waves carry mass?

As a first approximation, they usually don't. However, since they carry energy, according to the equivalence of mass and energy, that means they also carry a tiny amount of mass.


What type of waves are sound waves longitudinal or converse waves?

Sound waves are longitudinal waves because the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. This means that the particles move back and forth in the same direction that the sound wave is traveling.


What do machanical waves use to transfer energy?

The spring and the mass characteristics of their transmission medium are vital to the transmission of sound and vibration waves.


Sound is not made of matter because it has no?

mass or volume. Sound is a type of energy that travels through a medium, such as air or water, in the form of waves. It does not have a physical substance or matter.


What sound waves do?

Sound waves carry sound


Does sound produce waves?

Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.


Could you test the sound of light hitting an object?

light waves have no mass so when it strikes an object it causes no vibration and therefore no sound


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.


What does sound travel on?

Waves; sound waves.


Why are light and sound not considered to be matter?

light and sound do not have mass. Light is electromagnetic wave transverse in nature. Sound is longitudinal wave. But sound needs material medium so it is mechanical wave. Moreover matter is the one which occupies the space. But waves do not occupy but traverse in space. Electromagnetic waves don't need material medium, but sound waves do need a material medium. False physics to assume that light has no mass. Energy = mc^2 =hf=cp. Light has energy and momentum. p=h/w =mv.
