Flashcards
What type of waves are sound waves?
What type of waves are sound waves?
Sound waves are mechanical waves, meaning they require a medium to travel.
How do particles vibrate in a longitudinal wave?
How do particles vibrate in a longitudinal wave?
In a longitudinal wave, particles vibrate parallel to the direction the wave travels.
Can sound travel through a vacuum?
Can sound travel through a vacuum?
No, sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum because they need a medium (like air, water, or solids) to propagate.
