what is a medium, sound wave and amplitude
Answers
sound wave is a wave of compression
medium through which sound can pass
Answer:
Explanation:
MEDIUM- substance that makes possible the transfer of energy from one location to another, especially through waves. For example, matter of sufficient density can be a medium for sound waves, which transfer mechanical energy. (plural mediums or media) A liquid base which carries pigment in paint.
SOUND WAVE-Sound is a mechanical wave that results from the back and forth vibration of the particles of the medium through which the sound wave is moving. ... 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.
Amplitude, in physics, the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. It is equal to one-half the length of the vibration path.
