but sound can also travel through solids and liquids. Therefore, flesh and bone can function as a speaker, because particles in a solid can vibrate too. In fact, solids transmit sound faster than air and water, because the particles in a solid ...
A mechanical wave is transverse when all the particles of the medium, which are solid or liquid (and never gas), vibrate perpendicularly at right angles, up and down, and continue to move in the direction of the wave. For example, the ripples on the surface of a lake are transverse wave...
The solubility of a given solute in a given solvent typically dependson temperature. For many solids dissolved in liquid water, solubility tends to correspond with increasing temperature. As water molecules heat up, they vibrate more quickly and are better able to interact with and break apart the...
Which one of the following statements best explains why convection does not occur in solids? A. The molecules in a solid are not free to move throughout the volume of the solid. B. Molecules in a solid vibrate at a lower frequency than those in a liquid. ...
The atom can’t give away part of the energy and just vibrate a little less. When the atom does give up its kinetic energy it stops vibrating and an atom next-door picks up that energy (all of that energy) and starts oscillating in turn. This one-step-up-from-the...
Which come first: surface waves or p-waves? What type of waves are electromagnetic waves? Do primary or secondary waves travel farther? What are electromagnetic waves composed of? What are waves in which the particles vibrate parallel to the direction that the wave is traveling called?
The electrons take in the energy of the light wave and start to vibrate. What happens next depends upon how tightly the atoms hold on to their electrons. Absorption occurs when the electrons are held tightly, and they pass the vibrations along to the nuclei of the atoms. This makes the ...

Mesh nebulizers can be divided into two types: static (passive) and vibrating (active) nebulizers. Static mesh nebulizers use a horn that vibrates ultrasonically against a static mesh, while vibrating mesh nebulizers use a mesh mounted in an ultrasonically vibrating piezo ring [13,17,18]. Re...
As you heat a solid, the atoms (or ions or molecules) vibrate more and more vigorously. If heated enough, these vibrations disrupt the crystalline structure of the solid resulting in a loss of the solid’s shape; becomes a liquid.
