How do you compare the energy of two different waves?

You can compare the energy of two waves by calculating the square of their amplitudes. The wave with the higher amplitude will have more energy. Additionally, you can compare the frequencies of the waves - higher frequency waves generally carry more energy than lower frequency waves.


How can you compare the energy of two different waves?

Energy waves can travel through a vacuum. Electromagnetic waves and gravity travel through space. Ocean waves are mechanical. That is to say that a wave that uses matter to continue it's travel using vibrations is mechanical. Those waves can't travel through a vacuum because there is no matter to utilize.


Compare and contrast the two types of waves based on a medium?

Mechanical waves require a physical medium to propagate, such as sound waves in air or water waves in the ocean. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum and do not need a medium. They include light waves and radio waves.


How does the speed of radio waves compare with the speed of infrared waves?

Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed possible in a vacuum. Infrared waves also travel at the speed of light, so both types of waves travel at the same speed.


How do transverse and longitudal waves compare?

Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, while longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Transverse waves exhibit crests and troughs, whereas longitudinal waves exhibit compressions and rarefactions. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves, while light waves are an example of transverse waves.

How does the wavelength of infrared (IR) compare with the wavelength of Ultraviolet (UV) waves?

IR waves are longer than UV waves.


How would compare and contrast the reflection refraction and diffraction of water waves and sound waves?

they are all related to how waves change direction


How does the frequency of the waves compare in the two diagrams?

use an ruler


How does light waves compare with sound waves?

Light waves are electromagnetic waves that move at the speed of light. Sound waves are compression waves that move through a medium (air, liquids, solids), with varying speeds according to the medium.


When was All Things Come in Waves created?

All Things Come in Waves was created in 2008.


How do infrared waves compare with gamma rays?

Much lower frequency.


How do sound waves during a sonic boom compare with sound waves traveling at a slower speed?

wat does this even mean??


Who are waves?

You mean 'What are waves?' Waves are the bobbly things you see on ponds, lakes and the sea.

What kind of wave's wavelength compare to a cell?

a sound waves wavelength compares to a cell by comparing the waves one by the other. cells compared to wavelength are electromagnetic waves lol:)


How does the sped of radio wave compare with speed of tv waves when both measured in vacuum?

Both radio waves and tv waves are electromagnetic waves. So both have the same speed in vacuum. Of course radio waves are of lower frequency compared to that of tv waves.
