An explosion produces shock waves in the air, which are high-pressure waves that move radially outward from the point of the explosion. These shock waves travel faster than the speed of sound and are responsible for the loud noise associated with explosions.

What kind of sound waves do vacuums produce?

The vacuum does not produce sound waves nor, can sound waves travel through them. A sound wave needs something to travel on/through, such as air. A vacuum doesn't contain any particles required for sound waves.


Can rhythmic movement of air molecules produce electromagnetic waves?

No, the rhythmic movement of air molecules does not produce electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves are generated by the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields and do not require a medium, such as air, to propagate.


An insect that produces waves in the water also produces waves in the air. What can thses air vibrations produce?

Oxygen


Does sound produce waves?

Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.


What will the vibration of air molecules produce?

Vibration of air molecules produces sound waves. These waves are propagated through the air as differences in pressure, which our ears can detect as sound.


Why you cannot hear the sound of explosion produce in the sun?

Sound waves cannot travel through space because space is a vacuum, meaning there is no medium (like air or water) for sound waves to travel through. Since the Sun is in space, the sound of an explosion produced by the Sun cannot be heard on Earth.


What are the objects that produce sound?

there are many weird and wonderful ways to produce sound by simply vibrating air waves.


How does a guitar produce sound waves?

well the sound goes into the soundhole and then the sound waves form in the air lol thanksx


What kind of instruments need air forced through them to produce musical sound?

It is produced by vibrations of sound waves that connects to your eardrums! This is by: 12 year old Danielle


Why are explosions loud?

because they have micro particles that respond to the cells in the explosion that bounce off of each other... Actually, because explosions MOVE air, and your body, it's ears, detect moving air as SOUND. The moving air, in explosions, is moving at several times the speed of Hurricanes, and close to the explosion, thousands of feet per second. Explosions also produce shock waves, that are basically sound waves that travel through the ground, air, and water.


An insect that produces waves in the water and in the air what can these air vibrations produce?

These waves in the air are called Sound waves, waves that vibrate in the air and if your hearing is good these vibrations will vibrate our ear drums and cause us to hear them as noise or sound.


Which kind of matter does sound waves move the slowest?

dry air
