What is the relationship between electromagnetic waves and mediums?
The "medium" is whatever a wave requires, to be able to travel - so, the wave travels through a medium. In the case of electromagnetic waves, this medium is space itself, since it has certain electrical and magnetic properties.
Sound travels in what kind of wave?
Sound travels in longitudinal waves, which means that the particles of the medium move in the same direction as the wave is propagating. This is in contrast to transverse waves where the particles move perpendicular to the wave's direction.
What is another word for the substance in which a wave travels?
A medium.
What is the disturbance that travels through a medium as a compressional wave called?
The disturbance that travels through a medium as a compressional wave is called a longitudinal wave. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's energy propagation. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.
An example of a purely longitudinal wave is a?
Sound wave is an example of a purely longitudinal wave. In a sound wave, the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave is moving, creating compressions and rarefactions as the wave travels through the medium.
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.
A wave that requires a medium to travel?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave or a water wave, requires a medium to travel because it relies on the vibration or movement of particles in the medium to propagate energy. Without a medium, these waves cannot transfer their energy.
What is a wave that requires a physical medium?
A sound wave.
What is the name of a wave that requires a medium in which to travel?
A mechanical wave.
What is a wave that requires a medium wave?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave or water wave, requires a medium (substance) to travel through. In a mechanical wave, the energy is transferred through the medium by the vibration of particles.
What type of wave requires a medium to propagate and cannot travel through a vacuum?
The type of wave that requires a medium to propagate and cannot travel through a vacuum is called a mechanical wave.
What is a mecanical wave?
A mechanical wave is a type of wave that requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves. They transfer energy through the vibration of particles in the medium.
What is a wave that requires medium for propagation?
Mechanical waves
How do you know the wave is mechanical?
It requires a medium through which to travel
What does the formation of a standing wave require?
A standing wave requires a relative motion of the medium at the same velocity of the wave
What is sound an example of?
a mechanical wave that requires a medium through which to travel.
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.
