Do waves created by a large disturbance travel faster than waves created by a small disturbance do?
No, waves created by a large disturbance do not necessarily travel faster than waves created by a small disturbance. The speed of a wave depends on the medium through which it is traveling, not on the size of the disturbance that created it.
How can a fully developed sea have waves that are bugger or smaller than maximum theoretical size?
Waves can be bigger or smaller than the maximum theoretical size due to factors such as the depth and shape of the seafloor, wind speed and direction, and interactions with other waves. These variables can cause waves to amplify or decrease in size as they travel across the ocean.
What waves need a medium to travel in?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, require a medium to travel through. These waves propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer the energy of the wave. Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
What are the differences between light waves and sound waves?
Light waves and sound waves are both forms of energy that travel in waves, but they have key differences. Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum, while sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. Light waves travel much faster than sound waves, at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second in a vacuum, while sound waves travel at a speed of about 767 miles per hour in air. Additionally, light waves are transverse waves, meaning they oscillate perpendicular to the direction of travel, while sound waves are longitudinal waves, meaning they oscillate parallel to the direction of travel.
How fast do waves, such as sound waves or ocean waves, travel?
Waves, like sound waves and ocean waves, travel at different speeds depending on the medium they are traveling through. Sound waves travel at about 343 meters per second in air, while ocean waves can travel at speeds ranging from 1 to 60 kilometers per hour.
What happens to the wavelength of electromagnetic waves as they travel through a denser medium?
The waves become smaller.
Do waves created by a large disturbance travel faster than waves created by a small disturbance do?
No, waves created by a large disturbance do not necessarily travel faster than waves created by a small disturbance. The speed of a wave depends on the medium through which it is traveling, not on the size of the disturbance that created it.
Why do waves get smaller as they travel farther?
They get closer to the sea bed as they come in-land and have to start braking.
How can a fully developed sea have waves that are bugger or smaller than maximum theoretical size?
Waves can be bigger or smaller than the maximum theoretical size due to factors such as the depth and shape of the seafloor, wind speed and direction, and interactions with other waves. These variables can cause waves to amplify or decrease in size as they travel across the ocean.
Do waves travel faster than S waves?
no p waves travel faster than s waves
A seismogram shows that p waves travel?
The seismogram shows that P waves travel faster than S waves, as they are the first waves to arrive at the seismograph station after an earthquake occurs. P waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, whereas S waves are shear waves that can only travel through solids.
What can cause a beach to get smaller and smaller?
Waves.
What type of wave requires no medium to travel through?
Waves need not require medium to travel through. Only Mechanical waves like sound waves require medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves travel in vaccum like light waves. Some waves transmitted in a medium due to disturbances in the medium .
What Earthquakes produce that travel though Earth?
Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes and travel through the Earth. These waves can be divided into two main types: body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the interior of the Earth, and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface.
What waves need a medium to travel in?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, require a medium to travel through. These waves propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer the energy of the wave. Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
What can sound waves not travel in?
sound waves can't travel in a vacuum (space)
What are the waves that travel from the sun to earth?
Light waves travel from sun to the earth.
