Longitudinal wave

Introduction A wave is a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space. Waves are caused by vibrations. There are two types of waves, transverse, and longitudinal waves. The moving particles in transverse waves travel at right angles to the direction of transverse. Some examples of transverse waves are light waves and radio waves. A longitudinal wave is also known as a compression wave. The moving particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. An example of this is a wave moving through a stretched out slinky. Image 1: There are two areas in a longitudinal wave, a compression, and a rarefaction. A compression is created when particles are pushed together, while a rarefaction is created…

Sound Waves in Music Intervals Introduction Mechanical Wave Sound is a mechanical wave. It has an original source that is a vibrating object. It travels in a medium through particle-to-particle interaction. Longitudinal Wave In a sound wave, the particles in the medium oscillate in a direction parallel to direction of energy transport. This results in compressions and rarefactions in the particles- Lower pressure causes molecules to expand into a large region of space called rarefactions, and…

loss of power and water in the city of Illapel. Furthermore, the earthquake caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damages and left 9000 people homeless. Over one million people had to be evacuated in order to prevent more deaths. Therefore, it can be predicted that the Tyche meteor would also have similar effects. Similar to the Illapel earthquake, the Tyche earthquake would likely result in heavy damage done to infrastructure and thousands of people's homes being destroyed. Without proper…

A. WAVES Normally when energy is transferred from one place to another a disturbance is involved. Waves can travel through air, water, and solid materials. Mechanical and electromagnetic waves are the two types of waves. Medium is the material in which a wave travels. Mechanical Waves When a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate, a mechanical wave is formed. Mechanical waves require a medium to travel. There are two different types of mechanical waves: longitudinal and transverse waves.…

A wave is a disturbance of energy. Sound and light are both disturbances in energy, and they both travel in the forms of waves. While sound travels in a longitudinal wave, light travels through a transverse wave. From a perspective of a human, sound and light on earth is very different compared to sound and light in space. These waves have differences in speed, form, shape, and other properties. Despite many of the differences, sound and light are very similar to each other. Light is a…

did u know that sound is energy and how sound work? Read more to find out how sound is energy and how sound work. Sound is a release of energy the energy is released in the form of vibrations . How sound work is the vibrations emit from whatever has made the sound in what is known as a longitudinal wave.A longitudinal wave is a wave that travels in a single direction. Next how can we hear sound. We can hear sound from a longitudinal wave for example when a tree falls and energy is released…

the branch of physics concerned with the study of sound. Sound is a wave made of vibrations in the air. Waves can be measured in a range of different ways: by their amplitude, wavelength, frequency, speed, and, at times, their phase. Sound information is transmitted by the amplitude and frequency of the vibrations, where the amplitude is experienced as loudness and frequency as pitch. The vibration is started by some mechanical movement and this causes a vibration on the molecules next to the…

not a simple concept in physics. There are so many topics and under those are subtopics. These topics include waves, which is what we will be focusing on today. Sound waves are made very easily, in fact we create them every day. They can be created by smashing two cooking pans together, this is because as the pots hit each together they create vibrations. Music can also be made is a more complex way. Music is made by repeating sounds in a pattern. Although we cannot see it, waves transport…

liquid or gas. Sound travels in longitudinal waves. There is also a vibration that starts on an object, and this causes a vibration on all the molecules. When these molecules vibrate, they cause all of the other surrounding molecules to vibrate. This vibration will spread from molecule to molecule causing sound to travel. 1. What is a wave? A wave is a chain of vibrating molecules. In general, a wave transfers energy from one place to another. 2. Can sound move through outer space? There is…

Waves are disturbances that transfer energy from one place to another without transferring the particles of a medium. Some waves must travel through matter, known as the medium (mechanical waves). And when they travel through the medium they cause the particles to vibrate. Some types of mechanical waves are sound waves and ocean waves. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, are waves that do not need to travel through a medium. They are disturbances in both the electric and magnetic fields.…
