What happens to the air particles as the sound wave travels through them?
As the sound wave travels through the air, the air particles vibrate back and forth in the direction of the wave, transferring the sound energy.
Do longitudinal wave particles vibrate perpendicular to wave direction?
No, in a longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate in the same direction as the wave propagates. This is different from a transverse wave, where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the wave direction.
Is a sound wave compressional or transverse?
A sound wave is a compressional wave, which means the particles in the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This compression and rarefaction of particles create the variations in pressure that we perceive as sound.
How does the air particles vibrate and make a sound wave?
well...the particles in the air start to go up and down so a sound wave starts to form,then that sound wave travels in to peoples ears etchope this answer was useful :)
Which direction do particles vibrate in transfer waves?
Particles in a transverse wave vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. In a longitudinal wave, particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation.

What wave creates sound?
Things vibrating, such as a speaker or your voice box.

What is a wave in which particles in the medium vibrate back and forth along the path a wave travels?
A longitudinal wave, like sound.
Which direction do particles vibrate in transfer waves?
Particles in a transverse wave vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. In a longitudinal wave, particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation.
What does a wave in which particles vibrate and move in the same direction as they travel?
That type of wave is called a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave is traveling. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
In which wave do the particles vibrate in the same direction as the wave?
Longitudinal waves are the type of waves in which particles vibrate in the same direction as the wave propagates. This means that the oscillation of the particles occurs parallel to the direction of energy transfer of the wave. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves.
How do sound wave particles travel through a medium to transmit sound?
Sound wave particles travel through a medium by vibrating back and forth in the same direction that the sound wave is traveling. This vibration causes neighboring particles in the medium to also vibrate, passing the sound energy along.
What happens to air as sound travels through it?
Sound is transmitted from a source to the surrounding air particles, which vibrate or collide and pass the sound energy along to our ears. Without any particles to vibrate we wouldn't hear the sound.
Is the sound wave transverse or longitudinal in nature?
Sound waves are longitudinal in nature, meaning that the particles in the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave propagation.
