Sound travels in water as a longitudinal wave.
A traveling wave is a type of wave in which energy is transmitted in a definite direction and with a definite speed.
The speed of a wave is affected by the medium through which it is traveling (such as air, water, or solid materials), the temperature of the medium, and the frequency or wavelength of the wave. Additionally, the properties of the wave itself, such as its amplitude and energy, can also impact its speed.
The statement, when the frequency of the source of a water wave increases the speed of the waves traveling in the water increases is true. It is stated that sound will travel through the water at 20 degrees Celsius faster than water at 80 degrees.
False. An electromagnetic wave is not a mechanical wave; it is a type of wave that can travel through a vacuum, such as light or radio waves. Mechanical waves, on the other hand, require a medium to travel through, like sound waves traveling through air or water waves traveling through water.
Light is an example of an electromagnetic (EM) wave. EM waves are transverse waves, not compressional waves. Sound waves are compressional waves, so both sound traveling through air and water would be compressional. Waves traveling along a coiled spring compress the coils together and spread them apart, so this is also an example of a compressional wave.

The speed of sound does not depend on the amplitude of the sound wave or the frequency of the wave. It is primarily determined by the medium through which it travels, such as air, water, or solids. Additionally, the speed of sound is not influenced by the direction in which the sound is traveling.
A drop in pitch is observed when the frequency of the sound wave decreases. This can happen when an object producing sound moves away from the listener (Doppler effect), or when there are changes in the medium through which the sound is traveling, such as in the case of a sound wave traveling from air to water.
No, sound is not a type of electromagnetic wave. Sound is actually a mechanical wave that requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves like light do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Every type of sound wave produced is a longitudinal wave.
One type of mechanical wave motion in an elastic medium is longitudinal waves. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. An example of longitudinal waves is sound waves traveling through air.
Sound is a type of mechanical wave, specifically a longitudinal wave that travels through a medium such as air, water, or solids. It consists of compressions and rarefactions that create variations in air pressure which are perceived by our ears as sound.
In a sound wave, air particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction that the sound wave is traveling. This vibration creates a series of compressions and rarefactions in the air, allowing the sound wave to propagate through the medium in a longitudinal wave motion.
