Does sound produce waves?
Yes, sound produces waves known as sound waves. These waves are vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air or water, and are detected by our ears as sound.
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, sound waves cannot be seen with the naked eye. Sound waves are vibrations in the air that are sensed by our ears, but they do not have a visual component like light waves.
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.
