When a sound wave travels through air, how is this air affected by its passage

Physics
1 answer:
grandymaker [24]3 years ago

Sound is a mechanical wave <span>that results from the back and forth vibration of the particles of the medium through which the sound wave is moving. If a sound wave is moving from left to right through air, then particles of air will be displaced both rightward and leftward as the energy of the sound wave passes through it. The motion of the particles is parallel (and anti-parallel) to the direction of the energy transport. This is what characterizes sound waves in air as longitudinal waves.</span><span>

Define the physics quantity of work
umka2103 [35]

Explanation:

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a specific or particular direction.

It is also the difference in the amount of energy expended in using an effort.

 Work done is given as;

 Work done  = F x d CosФ

F is the force applied

d is the displacement

Ф is the angle

 The unit of work done is in Joules.

Makovka662 [10]

The energy of a wave will remain constant if which of the following changes are made to it is given below

Explanation:

1.In electromagnetic waves, energy is transferred through vibrations of electric and magnetic fields. In sound waves, energy is transferred through vibration of air particles or particles of a solid through which the sound travels. In water waves, energy is transferred through the vibration of the water particles.

2.First of all for light which is a electromagnetic wave c=frequency*wavelength. As the wavelength increases the frequency decreases. This can be physically understood as the increase in red shift of the light. Also energy =h*frequency,hence increasing wavelength decreases the energy carried by the photon.

3.Wave frequency is related to wave energy. the more energy in a wave, the higher its frequency. The lower the frequency is, the less energy in the wave.

One kilowatt-hour is equal to which of these values?
padilas [110]
One kilowatt-hour = 1000 watts = 1000 joules/second
One hour = 60 × 60 = 3600 seconds

One kWh = 3600 × 1000 joules
One kWh = 36 × 100000 joules
One kWh = 3.6 × 10 × 100000 joules
One kWh = 3.6 × 10⁶ joules
