m/s
What is velocity?
Sound travels through easily
What is a solid?
Water and light waves
What are transverse waves
Sound wave
What is a longitudinal wave
F
What is frequency?
Air
What is the medium for any sound?
Amplitude
What is the measure of waves height
When the particles are spread apart
What is a rarefaction?
m
Amplitude
Light waves travel the best through..
What is a vacuum?
When the energy increases the amplitude
it increases
When the particles are squished together
What is a compression?
Hz
What is Hertz?
This wave can travel without a medium
What are electromagnetic waves
A trought
What is the bottom dip
How do compression and rarefaction relate to sound
They make the pressure variations that make sound waves
λ
What is Wavelength?
this happens to sound waves speed when transfers form air to water
What is speeding up
causes a transverse wave to form
What is a disturbance to the perpendicular wave motion
in which direction do the particles move in a longitudinal wave
parallel to the wave direction
