In longitutudinal waves in a spring the parts where th?

In longitudinal waves in a spring, the parts where the particles are closest together are called compressions, while the parts where the particles are farthest apart are called rarefactions. These alternating compressions and rarefactions create the wave motion that travels through the medium.


Which of th following is a type of mechanical wave?

Sound waves are an example of a mechanical wave, as they require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to propagate. In contrast, electromagnetic waves (such as light) do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.


A medium that sound travels 4 times faster through?

Sound travels 4 times faster through water than through air. This is because water is denser and allows sound waves to travel more efficiently.


Two waves can share the same space and pass through one another. When two or more waves overlap they interfere with one another. What type of interference occurs when the crests of one wave overlap th?

Constructive interference occurs when the crests of one wave overlap with the crests of another wave. This results in a wave with greater amplitude.


Light and sound energy travels in the form of what?

Sound is your brain's interpretation of a certain frequency range of waves formed by oscillating media, be it a solid, liquid or gas. The waves propagate longitudinally in all three states of matter, meaning the vibrations of the medium are in the same direction as the wave is traveling, via cyclic changes of lower and higher pressure. These are called compression waves and are the only form of waves that can travel through a liquid or a gas.As for solids, a transverse wave, meaning the vibrations of the medium are perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling, can also occur. This is effectively done by the solid's base structures, whether they be atoms, molecules, or a crystal lattices, rubbing against each other in parallel to their surfaces. This is known as lateral displacement strain due to shear stress.It should be said that mechanical waves in general, including those in the frequency range of sound, need a medium to travel through, unlike electromagnetic waves. This is why light can travel through a vacuum but sound can not.

How do you pronounce through?

"Through" is pronounced as "th-roo." The "th" sounds like the "th" in "thin" and "roo" rhymes with "flew."

Is the sentence Harry saw me in thcrowd but he did not wave.?

The sentence is missing a space between "th" and "crowd". The correct sentence should be "Harry saw me in the crowd, but he did not wave."


Does the term blue blood refer to the blood in the arteries?

No. Veins, have the deoxygenated blue blood. they travel throughout the body to the lungs in order to oxygenate the blood and turn the blood red. Th red blood travels through the heart and out in to the arteries.

No,th e potential energy is the same - weight times height of 3 feet


If you keep th velocity of projection and change the angle of projection from 75 degrees to 45 degrees what will happen to the horizontal distance the projectile travels?

If you keep th velocity of projection and change the angle of projection from 75 degrees to 45 degrees what will happen to the horizontal distance the projectile travels? if you finish the nova net lesson you might learn the answer! It will travel a greater distance!
