What else can I help you with?
Name one example of each type of wave?
transverse= rope longitudinal= spring surface= water & air
What is a type of a mechanical wave whose direction of vibration is perpendicular to its direction of travel?
A type of mechanical wave with vibrations perpendicular to its direction of travel is a transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium oscillate up and down or side to side as the wave moves forward. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.
What are the properties and characteristics of a sound wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves that is the the particles of the wave vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave. They cannot be polarized. Speed of sound in air is about 340 m/s.
What is the wavelength of a 320 Hz sound?
Very simple formula: speed of the wave = frequency x wavelength This is applicable for both mechanical waves such as sound and electromagnetic waves such as visible light. In case of sound the speed at room temperature would be almost 340 m/s. Hence wavelength = 340/320 = (17/16) m
What is the wavelength in a sound wave?
To find the wavelength, the following formula applies: λ = ν / f That in common words is: Wavelength = Wave's Speed / Wave's Frequency So, Wavelength of sound wave = Speed of sound wave / Frequency of sound wave Now, Speed of sound wave is 343 m/s, so Wavelength of sound wave = 343 m/s / Frequency of sound wave Frequency of sound waves audible to a human ear range between 20 Hz to 20 kHz. So filling the desired sound frequency in the equation above you get the desired wavelength of that sound wave.

What type of seismic wave that travels through solids only?
Shear waves, also known as S-waves, are the type of seismic waves that travel through solids only. These waves move particles perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, causing the material to shear or deform.
What is the wavelength of a 320 Hz sound?
Very simple formula: speed of the wave = frequency x wavelength This is applicable for both mechanical waves such as sound and electromagnetic waves such as visible light. In case of sound the speed at room temperature would be almost 340 m/s. Hence wavelength = 340/320 = (17/16) m
What type of waves are there?
p-wave s-wave l-wave
Which type of body wave always arrives after the P-wave?
The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.
What is the wavelength in a sound wave?
To find the wavelength, the following formula applies: λ = ν / f That in common words is: Wavelength = Wave's Speed / Wave's Frequency So, Wavelength of sound wave = Speed of sound wave / Frequency of sound wave Now, Speed of sound wave is 343 m/s, so Wavelength of sound wave = 343 m/s / Frequency of sound wave Frequency of sound waves audible to a human ear range between 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

Give three examples of mechanical waves and identify the medium through which they travel?
There are only two types of mechanical waves: longitudinal waves, and transverse waves..In a longitudinal wave, the waves themselves oscillate, or vibrate, in the same direction as the wave travel. Longitudinal waves are also called compression waves. Sound and seismic P-waves are examples of mechanical longitudinal waves..In a transverse wave, the waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of the wave travel. Ocean waves and seismic S-waves are examples of mechanical transverse waves..See the related links for further information about longitudinal and transverse waves.
How does s longitudinal waves work?
Longitudinal waves are a type of wave where the particles of the medium move back and forth parallel to the direction of wave propagation. This means that the disturbance is in the same direction as the wave is traveling. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves, where molecules in the air oscillate parallel to the direction of the sound wave.
What type of wave indicates a secondary wave?
The term used in seismology is the S-wave.
What moves through the earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves direction?
S-waves which are a form of seismic wave. Seismic waves are a type of mechanical wave known as a shear or transverse wave that travel through the solid Earth (but not the liquid outer core).
