What type of waves do fluids transmit and why?

fluids usually transmit only what type of waves


Does auditory tube transmits sound waves?

No, the auditory tube, also known as the Eustachian tube, is responsible for equalizing pressure between the middle ear and the atmosphere. It does not transmit sound waves.


Can sound waves transmit energy through empty space?

No, sound waves cannot transmit energy through empty space because they require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the absence of a medium, sound waves cannot propagate and transmit energy.


What type are the waves that transmit sound?

Sound waves are mechanical longitudinal waves, which means they require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate. These waves compress and rarefy the molecules in the medium as they travel, transmitting the sound energy from one place to another.


Are radio waves are the same as sound waves true or false?

False. Radio waves and sound waves are different types of waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that transmit signals through the air, while sound waves are mechanical waves that transmit vibrations through a medium such as air, water, or solid objects.


How does sound waves work to transmit information through the air?

Sound waves transmit information through the air by vibrating molecules in the air, creating changes in air pressure that travel as waves. These waves are detected by our ears and converted into electrical signals that our brain interprets as sound.


In a television the what waves carry the picture while the what waves transmit the sound of the program?

LM is video (picture)CM is auto (sound)


What transmits a sound through solid?

Sound waves transmit sound through a solid, as well as air and water. Sound waves cannot be transmitted through a vacuum.


What are waves that transmit energy?

Waves that transmit energy are called mechanical waves. These waves require a medium to travel through, such as water or air, and they transfer energy as they propagate. Examples include water waves, sound waves, seismic waves, and waves along a rope.


What type of thing does not transmit sound?

Sound and vibration are transmitted by matter. So a vacuum will transmit neither.


Why is sound not transmitted in a vacuum How are sound waves produced?

Sound requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel because it relies on the vibration of particles in that medium to transmit the energy. In a vacuum, where there are no particles, sound waves cannot travel. Sound waves are produced when an object vibrates, causing the particles in the medium to also vibrate and transmit the sound energy through the medium.


What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?

Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
