Which wave requires medium?
Sound wave
Which meduim is the velocity of a sound wave the greatest?
The velocity of sound is the highest when travelling through a solid. Sound travels fastes in a solid, then in a liquid, and slowest through a gas.
Which wave requires a medium for transmission light radio infrared or sound?
Sound.
Why is a vibration necessary for a sound wave to form?
because its a mechanical wave, it requires an action to be formed and that produces energy ( as a sound)
How sound waves differ from light waves?
Sound is a longitudinal wave and a light wave is a transverse wave. Sound requires a medium to travel through but light can propagate without any medium.
Which wave requires medium?
Sound wave
What is a wave that requires a physical medium?
A sound wave.
Which meduim is the velocity of a sound wave the greatest?
The velocity of sound is the highest when travelling through a solid. Sound travels fastes in a solid, then in a liquid, and slowest through a gas.
Sound travels in what kind of wave?
Sound is a longitudinal, mechanical wave that requires a medium.
Which wave requires a medium for transmission light radio infrared or sound?
Sound.
Why is a vibration necessary for a sound wave to form?
because its a mechanical wave, it requires an action to be formed and that produces energy ( as a sound)
How sound waves differ from light waves?
Sound is a longitudinal wave and a light wave is a transverse wave. Sound requires a medium to travel through but light can propagate without any medium.
A wave that requires a medium to travel?
A mechanical wave such as a sound wave requires a medium to travel through.
Why cant you hear the sun here on earth?
Because sound doesn't traverse through a vacuum, sound requires air to pass through in a wave (sound wave).
What is sound an example of?
a mechanical wave that requires a medium through which to travel.
Which requires a physical medium in which to travel light or sound?
it is sound that requires a medium to travel .. light is an electromagnetic wave ..it doesn't require a medium..
Why sound cannot travel in a vacium?
Sound is not an electromagnetic wave, which can pass through a vacuum, but a vibration wave which requires matter to vibrate. A vacuum has no matter to vibrate, therefor sound cannot pass through it.
