Sound waves requires a medium, electromagnetic waves do not.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
Sound waves Travels at approx. 330m/s in air, electromagnetic waves travel at approx. 3 x 10^8 m/s.
The difference is that a low wave have long and smooth wave and a high wave has skinny and cramped togetther waves
sound waves are made by amplitudes
sounds waves are longitudinal and mechanical waves
Sound waves cannot travel through vaccum.
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.
Difference is in their frequency, audible sound waves is between 12 Hz and 20,000 Hz, Ultrasound waves is any sound that has a frequency beyond the 20,000 Hz limit
sound are longitudinal waves while water waves are transverse waves
Microwaves and sound waves are similar because they are electromagnetic waves. The main difference between the two types of waves is the length of the wave. Sound waves are longer than microwaves.
Pitch refers to how high or low a sound is, determined by the frequency of the sound waves. Volume, on the other hand, refers to how loud or soft a sound is, determined by the amplitude of the sound waves.
sound waves with frequencies 20 hertz or lower are infrasonic and waves above 20,000hertz are ultra sonic!
Sound waves in water are essentially the same as sound waves in air; they consist of a sequence of slight compressions of the water between non-compressed water, much as sound in air consists of denser sections of air in between less dense air. The main difference is that sound travels faster in water. The denser medium conducts sound better.
Sound waves travel through a medium by causing particles in the medium to vibrate back and forth. Transverse sound waves move particles perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while longitudinal sound waves move particles parallel to the direction of the wave.
Sound waves are the result of vibrations traveling through a medium, like air or water. Vibrations refer to the rapid back-and-forth motion of particles or objects producing the sound. In summary, vibrations are the cause, while sound waves are the effect.
The equation for calculating the phase difference between two waves is: Phase Difference (2 / ) (x) Where: Phase Difference is the difference in phase between the two waves is the wavelength of the waves x is the difference in position between corresponding points on the waves
The formula for calculating the phase difference between two waves is: Phase Difference (2 / ) (x) Where: Phase Difference is the difference in phase between the two waves is the wavelength of the waves x is the difference in position between corresponding points on the waves
the loudness of sound depends on the amplitude of the waves that compose it, i.e. the difference in pressure between the crest and the trough of the wave.
sound waves require a medium while electric radiation doesn't want any medium. It can be even transmitted through vaccum.
