The type of energy transferred by a wave in a medium is energy?
kinetic
What happens when waves travel through a medium?
When waves travel through a medium, the particles in the medium vibrate back and forth in the direction of the wave, transferring energy from one particle to the next. This causes the wave to propagate through the medium, carrying the energy and information of the wave to its destination.
What object produces and transmits when matter vibrates?
A sound wave is produced and transmitted when matter vibrates. This vibration causes particles in the medium to move back and forth, creating a wave of compression and rarefaction that carries the sound energy.
What wave that vibrates in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave it self is what?
A wave that vibrates in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave itself is called a longitudinal wave. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction as the wave is traveling. Sound waves are examples of longitudinal waves.
A mechanical wave is created when a medium?
A mechanical wave is created when a medium is disturbed and transmits energy through its particles. The particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the direction of the wave's propagation, transferring energy from one particle to the next.
How does a wave travel through a medium?
When a particle vibrates (moves back and forth), it can pass its energy to the particle next to it.
The type of energy transferred by a wave in a medium is energy?
kinetic
What is a wave in which particles in the medium vibrates back and forth along the path the wave travels?
A longitudinal wave, like sound.

A sound wave is produced and transmitted when matter vibrates. This vibration causes particles in the medium to move back and forth, creating a wave of compression and rarefaction that carries the sound energy.
Does a low pitch sound have a low frequency?
A sound wave, like any other wave, is introduced into a medium by a vibrating object. The vibrating object is the source of the disturbance that moves through the medium. The vibrating object that creates the disturbance could be the vocal cords of a person, the vibrating string and sound board of a guitar or violin, the vibrating tines of a tuning fork, or the vibrating diaphragm of a radio speaker. Regardless of what vibrating object is creating the sound wave, the particles of the medium through which the sound moves is vibrating in a back and forth motion at a given frequency. The frequency of a wave refers to how often the particles of the medium vibrate when a wave passes through the medium. The frequency of a wave is measured as the number of complete back-and-forth vibrations of a particle of the medium per unit of time. If a particle of air undergoes 1000 longitudinal vibrations in 2 seconds, then the frequency of the wave would be 500 vibrations per second. A commonly used unit for frequency is the Hertz (abbreviated Hz), where 1 Hertz = 1 vibration/second As a sound wave moves through a medium, each particle of the medium vibrates at the same frequency. This is sensible since each particle vibrates due to the motion of its nearest neighbor. The first particle of the medium begins vibrating, at say 500 Hz, and begins to set the second particle into vibrational motion at the same frequency of 500 Hz. The second particle begins vibrating at 500 Hz and thus sets the third particle of the medium into vibrational motion at 500 Hz. The process continues throughout the medium; each particle vibrates at the same frequency. And of course the frequency at which each particle vibrates is the same as the frequency of the original source of the sound wave. Subsequently, a guitar string vibrating at 500 Hz will set the air particles in the room vibrating at the same frequency of 500 Hz, which carries a sound signal to the ear of a listener, which is detected as a 500 Hz sound wave.
What wave that vibrates in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave it self is what?
A wave that vibrates in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave itself is called a longitudinal wave. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction as the wave is traveling. Sound waves are examples of longitudinal waves.
A mechanical wave is created when a medium?
A mechanical wave is created when a medium is disturbed and transmits energy through its particles. The particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the direction of the wave's propagation, transferring energy from one particle to the next.
What are the movements back and forth that make sounds?
vibration. all sound vibrates. if you whisper so quet the sound still vibrates.
Sound is made when things move back and forth or in other words?
When something vibrates quickly, it has a higher than it does when it vibrates slowly
What is a sound transverse wave and how does it propagate through a medium?
A sound transverse wave is a type of wave where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. It propagates through a medium by causing the particles of the medium to vibrate back and forth in a transverse motion, transferring energy from one particle to the next.
What is the rapid back and forth movements that creates sound?
Vibration is the rapid back and forth movement that creates sound. When an object vibrates, it creates waves in the air that are perceived as sound by our ears.
