Sound WavesWaves are disturbances that travel through a space while changing its matter. A sound wave is what allows us to hear sounds. It is created by vibrations, which are made by the movement of matter. Sound waves must travel through a solid, a liquid, or a gas. The more tight th...
Both of these wave types are traveling disturbances, but they are different because of the way that they travel. As a wave travels through a medium, the particles that make up the medium are disturbed from their resting, or "equilibrium" positions. In a longitudinal wave, the particles are ...

Sound is a mechanical wave.The physics of waves helps to explain the process by which sound is produced, travels, and is received. Sound is a wave that is produced by objects that are vibrating. It travels through a medium from one point, A, to another point, B. ...
Waves & Sound A. Waves 1. The nature of waves a. A wave is a rhythmic disturbance that transfers energy. b. All waves are made by something that vibrates. 2. Mechanical waves need a matter medium to travel through. (sound, water, seismic) 3. Two basic types of waves: a. Transverse...

Electromagnetic waves— These types of waves do not require a medium, and thus they can go through a vacuum. Examples of electromagnetic waves include;gamma waves, x-rays, and radio waves. Matter waves— These types of ways are associated with individual particles that make up matter, such as...
Waves involve a transport of energy from one location to another location while the particles of the medium vibrate about a fixed position. Two common categories of waves are transverse waves and longitudinal waves. The categories distinguish between wav
Wave Motion a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through a medium by means of a series of vibrations energy is transmitted by means of a wave, What is sound?* Sound begins with a vibration. Sounds travel in waves through a medium. ...
