A vibration that spreads away from a vibrating object is an?
it is called a sound wave
What happens to the charge on the conductive sphere when it is connected to a source of charge?
The charge on the conductive sphere spreads out uniformly over the surface of the sphere.
What happens if a source of light is moved away from the focus of a parabolic reflector?
Then the focused beam is no longer parallel, and is spreads faster from the axis as it proceeds away from the reflector.
Does a periodic disturbance of a medium describe a wave?
No. If it happens that the disturbance propagates through the medium, i.e. spreads out from the disturbed point, then the phenomenon that travels away from the disturbance and through the medium describes the wave.
What distance does sound travel through a solid?
There is no limiting distance. But just like in any other medium, the sound generally spreads out and its amplitude decreases as it proceeds farther, so there's some distance past which you can't detect it any more, and to all appearances, you would say that the sound has not traveled any further than that. The distance depends on the substance, and on the amplitude of the sound at its source. (Sound waves that originate in thunder travel many miles through the ground. Sound waves that originate in earthquakes travel many hundreds, or thousands, of miles through rock.)

How does heat tavel trough a metal?
Heat is the vibration of atoms. One atom hits its neighbour and the vibration spreads - it is called "conduction".
What happens when hydrochloric acid spreads on the human body?
you get aids
How does the effect of the earthquake spreads from the epicentre and what it means to experience an aftershock?
The effect of the earthquake as it spreads from the epicenter gets weaker and weaker the farther you go from the epicenter. When you experience aftershock, you feel a second or third minor vibration from the original earthquake.
What happens to a gas when it diffuses?
It spreads evenly throughout its containers/surroundings.
How does conduction heat things?
The vibrating atoms/molecules in the hot sustance make the atoms/molecules in the cooler substance vibrate and this vibration gradually spreads along the substance.
What happens to the old ocean floor as the sea floor spreads?
As the sea floor spreads, the old ocean floor gets pushed out, which makes the plates move.

How does the saxophone make noise?
The player blows air over the reed, causing it to vibrate and buzz...The reed produces a sound/vibration, which then spreads down the instrument, and resonates...The sound, amplified, comes out the bell.
What happens when a wave passes a barrier or moves through a hole in a barrier?
it bends and spreads out
What happens to a coral reef if the sea level rises or if the sea floor spreads?
