What is a rarer medium?
If the light travels faster in the second medium, then this medium is called the rarer medium.
What wave requires a medium?
Waves that require a medium are called mechanical waves
What is it called when thermal energy passes from particle to particle?
Vibrating particles have vibration energy and they pass their energy to neighboring particles vibrating with less intensity. This happens in solids, wherethis energy is transferred from a hot region (where particles vibrate with more intensity) to a cooler region (where particles vibrate with less intensity). This transfer of energy is heat transfer, and this mechanism of heat transfer is called "conduction".
What medium lacks physical structure would be called?
broth
What are common to sound waves and mechanical waves?
The energy in a sound wave is both kinetic and potential. Just as in a vibrating spring, the medium has mass and moves and so moving mass is kinetic energy. Just as in the spring there is compression and rarefaction, so there is elastic potential energy. In fact, these two are equal, potential energy = kinetic energy, just like a spring. Just like in a vibrating spring, the total energy is constant and equal to the average kinetic energy plus the average potential energy.
Are waves made by vibrating charges that can travel without a medium?
Electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic waves are mad by vibrating elecrical charges that travel through space or matter?
electromagnetic waves don't need a medium to travel but they can travel through a medium too so the answer is both.
What is the requirement for sound?
A vibrating source, a medium, and a recevier
Why do waves require a medium?
Sound waves are vibrations through a medium, such as air or water. The energy travels from the vibrating source and vibrates molecules in the medium, which push others sending a wave through the medium. Without a medium, there's nothing to vibrate and sound cannot travel.
What is produced by a vibrating object in a material medium?
sound.
When resonance occurs the amplitude of a vibrating medium becomes larger?
True
What condition is necessary for a body to resonate with a vibrating source?
The conditions necessary for a body to produce sound are first that their must be a medium for the sound to travel through. Then their must be a disturbance in the medium that pulses through the medium .
What do you mean by propagation of sound?
Propagation of sound in a medium (like the atmosphere) is the collision between the medium particles driven by a vibrating object
When the particles of a medium are vibrating at right angles to the direction of energy transport then the wave is what?
Transverse
What medium do mechanical waves need?
sound is produced by vibrating a source threw air. +======================= Answer 2: For mechanical waves to traverse we need an elastic medium.
How does the sound produced a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear'?
When an object vibrates, it forces the neighbouring particles of the medium to vibrate. These vibrating particles then force the particles adjacent to them to vibrate. In this way, vibrations produced by an object are transferred from one particle to another till it reaches the ear.
Does a low pitch sound have a low frequency?
A sound wave, like any other wave, is introduced into a medium by a vibrating object. The vibrating object is the source of the disturbance that moves through the medium. The vibrating object that creates the disturbance could be the vocal cords of a person, the vibrating string and sound board of a guitar or violin, the vibrating tines of a tuning fork, or the vibrating diaphragm of a radio speaker. Regardless of what vibrating object is creating the sound wave, the particles of the medium through which the sound moves is vibrating in a back and forth motion at a given frequency. The frequency of a wave refers to how often the particles of the medium vibrate when a wave passes through the medium. The frequency of a wave is measured as the number of complete back-and-forth vibrations of a particle of the medium per unit of time. If a particle of air undergoes 1000 longitudinal vibrations in 2 seconds, then the frequency of the wave would be 500 vibrations per second. A commonly used unit for frequency is the Hertz (abbreviated Hz), where 1 Hertz = 1 vibration/second As a sound wave moves through a medium, each particle of the medium vibrates at the same frequency. This is sensible since each particle vibrates due to the motion of its nearest neighbor. The first particle of the medium begins vibrating, at say 500 Hz, and begins to set the second particle into vibrational motion at the same frequency of 500 Hz. The second particle begins vibrating at 500 Hz and thus sets the third particle of the medium into vibrational motion at 500 Hz. The process continues throughout the medium; each particle vibrates at the same frequency. And of course the frequency at which each particle vibrates is the same as the frequency of the original source of the sound wave. Subsequently, a guitar string vibrating at 500 Hz will set the air particles in the room vibrating at the same frequency of 500 Hz, which carries a sound signal to the ear of a listener, which is detected as a 500 Hz sound wave.
