Mechanical waves


A sound wave is this kind of wave?

A sound wave is a mechanical wave that requires a medium for propagation. It consists of compressions and rarefactions of the medium that travel through it, carrying energy and causing the sensation of sound when they reach our ears.


What are factors that affect its propagation along a medium?

Factors that affect the propagation of a wave along a medium include the density and elasticity of the medium, the wavelength of the wave, and the tension in the medium. Additionally, the temperature and pressure of the medium can also influence wave propagation.


In activity 1 part c what is the medium of wave propagation?

In activity 1 part c, the medium of wave propagation is air.


If the wave requires a medium then the wave is classified as a?

If the wave requires a medium then it is a mechanical wave.


What kind of wave Moves At A Right Angle To The Direction of the wave is going?

Transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.


A wave is transverse if the vibrations in the medium are what?

Perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.


What type of wave is produced when the particles of the medium are vibrating to and fro in the same direction of wave propagation?

That would be a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation, causing compression and rarefaction as the wave travels through the medium.


What is the medium of propagation of earthquake wave?

Rock, soil, etc.


What is the medium of propagation of earthquakes wave?

Rock, soil, etc.


What happens to the medium when it is disturbed by a wave?

When a medium is disturbed by a wave, the particles of the medium begin to oscillate back and forth in the direction of the wave's propagation. This transfer of energy results in the wave moving through the medium.


What is longigtudinal wave and tranverse wave?

A longitudinal wave is a wave where the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation, like compressions and rarefactions in a spring. A transverse wave is a wave where the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation, like the motion of a string being plucked.
