A sound wave is a longitudinal wave that can travel only through matter, such as air, water, or solids. This type of wave involves the vibration of particles in the medium parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. Sound waves require a medium to propagate and cannot travel through a vacuum.
What else can I help you with?
A transverse or compressional wave that can travel only through matter?
That would be sound.
What kind of wave can travel only through matter?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
Do longitudinal waves have high energy?
The energy of a longitudinal wave is related to its amplitude, frequency, and wavelength, rather than its direction of oscillation. Longitudinal waves can have high energy if they have a large amplitude and high frequency, but the presence of longitudinal motion alone does not determine the energy of the wave.
Which type of wave travels slower through gases than it does through solid?
pressure waves longitudinal waves
What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?
Sound waves can only travel through matter, as they require a medium to propagate. Light waves and radio waves can travel through both matter and empty space.
What kind of waves can travel only through a medium?
Longitudinal
A transverse or compressional wave that can travel only through matter?
That would be sound.
What type instrument produce transverse wave?
If you mean sound waves, the only type of sound waves that can travel through air (or any gas, for that matter) is longitudinal waves.
Which forms of matter can primary and secondary seismic waves travel through?
Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.
What kind of wave can travel only through matter?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
Which type of seismic wave can travel through the interior of the?
If you mean Earth's interior, only longitudinal waves can pass through the liquid parts.
Can travel only through some type of matter .can travel either through matter or through empty space?
One example would be X-Rays. They are stopped by Lead, but travel through other matter and empty space.
What to waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through matter. The only thing it doesn't travel through is vacuums or outer space.
What matter do L-Waves travel through?
only through the surface of the earth
Is ultrasound a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.
Do longitudinal waves have high energy?
The energy of a longitudinal wave is related to its amplitude, frequency, and wavelength, rather than its direction of oscillation. Longitudinal waves can have high energy if they have a large amplitude and high frequency, but the presence of longitudinal motion alone does not determine the energy of the wave.
What state of matter do P and S waves travel through?
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
