Transverse waves are where the vibration is at 90 degrees to the motion of the waves. On the other hand, sound waves work in a completely different way. …show more content…
But all sound waves are different too and they are many components that play into this. The energy something makes when it vibrates produces sound waves that have a definite pattern. Each wave can be big or small. Big sound waves have what's called a high amplitude or intensity and we hear them as louder sounds while small waves are the opposite. Amplitude is a metric method associated with hearing. It is commonly grouped with intensity, loudness, or volume. Apart from amplitude, another thing worth noting about sound waves is their pitch, also called their frequency. Soprano singers make sound waves with a high pitch, while bass singers make waves with a much lower pitch. The frequency is simply the number of waves something produces in one
