One wave reaches the ship every 2.0 s. Sound travels the slowest in air. Cork is the best choice for controlling sound reflection. The texture of cork provides plenty of holes filled with air to trap and slow sound waves.
1) What is a mechanical wave? A wave that has a medium or substance to move through. 2) Why can you hear in space? The gas molecules in space are not dense enough for sound waves to move through. 3) Define a longitudinal wave. Draw a …
Wave Worksheet – Answers Instructions Complete the following questions. 1) What is a wave? A traveling disturbance in a medium. 2) Describe a difference between longitudinal and transverse waves. In a longitudinal wave, the disturbance travels in the same direction as the wave, while in a transverse wave, the disturbance moves perpendicular to
