sound waves does not travel through long distance because in sound waves particles vibration is parallel to the direction of wave propagation due to this one particle is collide with other particle so because of this back and forth vibration sound waves travel worse through air

Why is the gases the worse conductor?

Gases are poor conductors of heat because their molecules are widely spaced apart and have low intermolecular interactions, which limits the transfer of heat energy through collisions. In contrast, solids and liquids have closer-packed molecules that can efficiently transfer heat through conduction.


How does energy get from a battery to a bulb in a circuit?

It gets there through a conducting path. The path is most typically comprised of things like copper wires, but any conductor will do. The less energy dissipated in the conducting path, the more there is available for the bulb to dissipate. That's why you want the path to conduct as well as possible. Silver is best. Copper is almost as good as silver and a lot cheaper. Wet wood is a poor choice, and dry wood is even worse. Glass is a terribe conductor.


What are some dangers of ultraviolet radiation?

Remember that all light is electromagnetic radiation, which includes everything in the electromagnetic spectrum from long wave radio waves to gamma waves. These waves impart their energy to charged particles via the photon, which is the carrier particle for the electromagnetic force. Ultraviolet radiation, unlike longer wavelength radiation, contains enough energy to promote electrons from lower orbitals to higher orbitals, which may cause a variety of "dangerous" results. For example, when your skin absorbs UV radiation, electrons in the atoms of your skin cells, or worse, in your DNA, are promoted and cause the molecules which contain them to become unstable. Even worse, short wavelength UV radiation may cause ionization, which results in a charged, and thus reactive, molecule. Unregulated reactivity in the body can result in diseases like cancer.


Which are the worse conductors of heat liquids or gases?

Gases are generally worse conductors of heat compared to liquids. This is because gases have more space between their particles, leading to less interaction and slower heat transfer. Liquids have particles that are closer together, allowing heat to be transferred more efficiently.


A sound that measures decibels is 1000 times louder than the threshold of hearing?

The threshold of hearing varies between individuals, but is commonly taken as 0dB. About one-half of the (undamaged, young, non noise-exposed, ... ...) people will have hearing better than the threshold, and the other half will hear worse than the threshold. But to the point, 10dB is 10 times, 20 dB is 100 times, and 30 dB is 1000 times.

Why does an earthquake make tsunami?

Pour a glass of water, then shake it a little. You'll see the waves it makes in the water. Earthquakes are worse than that and waves in the ocean are much bigger.

They are worse above water because it takes effect to people. Waves can wash the human race right out with one huge powerful hit.
