Sound waves [unlike electromagnetic radiation] must have a 'medium' or substance through which to travel. A graphed 'wave' is not an analog representation of a sound, but literally a graph of wavelength/frequency on the X axis and amplitude/loudness on the Y axis. Imagine a bubble-like slab or thick sheet of "pressure" moving through the air away from the sound source. The slab is going to have a thickness. It must, because the pressure is moving through a physical substance (air, water, whatever) and because if there were zero thickness, there would be no "pressure". The amount of pressure in the curved slab determines the volume/loudness of the sound. How closely stacked the slabs are next to each other determines the pitch (high/low) being produced.
What else can I help you with?
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
Can sound waves be seen?
No, you cannot see sound waves. Sound waves move more quickly than we can process with our eyes. Technically, sound waves are invisible.
Does a soft sound have tall waves?
No, a soft sound typically has low amplitude waves (shorter in height) compared to a loud sound that has high amplitude waves (taller in height). The amplitude of a sound wave is directly related to its volume or intensity.
What are examples of longitudinal waves?
Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves, seismic waves, and sound waves in solids (such as ultrasound waves). These waves propagate by compressing and rarefying the medium in the direction of wave motion.
What sound waves do?
Sound waves carry sound
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
Sound waves are examples of what?
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
What does sound travel on?
Waves; sound waves.
How do vibrations produce sound waves?
sound waves dont produce vibrations, vibrations are sound waves.
Define the term sound waves?
Waves of sound.
What can you hear but can not see?
Sound waves
What is the objective of travel faster radio waves or sound waves?
