Question

mechanical waves (sound waves)in a gas are

Answer 1

Answer:The sound waves are propagated as longitudinal mechanical waves through solids liquids and gases. P – the density of the medium. Newton considered the propagation of sound waves through gases as an isothermal process PV = constant (as the medium is into getting heated up when sound is passing through it.) then he stated

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Mechanical Waves are waves which propagate through a material medium (solid, liquid, or gas) at a wave speed which depends on the elastic and inertial properties of that medium. There are two basic types of wave motion for mechanical waves: longitudinal waves and transverse waves.
