What causes sound waves to travel?

Sound waves are generated when an object vibrates, causing air molecules to vibrate in a pattern that travels as a wave. These vibrating air molecules transfer the energy of the sound wave from the source to our ears, where it is perceived as sound.


Why is sound a longitudinal wave?

Sound is a longitudinal wave because the particles in the medium vibrate back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling. This causes areas of compression and rarefaction, creating the sound wave that we hear.

Why is a vibration of an object necessary for a sound wave to form?

Vibration is necessary because it creates a disturbance in the medium (such as air) which then propagates as a wave. This disturbance causes molecules in the medium to oscillate back and forth, transferring energy and producing a sound wave. Without the initial vibration, there would be no energy to propagate the wave and create sound.


What are the sound wave forms?

The main sound wave forms are sine waves, square waves, sawtooth waves, and triangle waves. Each wave form has its own unique sound characteristics and is used in different ways in sound synthesis and music production.


How can an underwater bubble be collapsed using a sound wave?

An underwater bubble can be collapsed using a sound wave by creating a high-intensity sound wave that causes the bubble to shrink and eventually collapse due to the pressure changes caused by the sound wave.


Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?

Sound waves are longitudinal.


What characteristic of a sound wave causes the loudness?

The perceived "loudness" of the sound varies directly as the amplitude of the wave.
