Medium For Propagation

Question 1

Medium

Answer 1

The matter of substance through which sound is transmitted, can be solid liquid or gas

Question 2

Point of generation

Answer 2

As sound is produced by vibrating objects the objects that vibrates and produces sound is known as the point of generation

Question 3

Propagation (how with rarefractions and compressions)

Answer 3

When a body vibrates and produce Sound, compression and rarefraction follow one another as sound waves travel through the medium away from the body

Question 4

Mechanical wave

Answer 4

Periodic disturbance which requires a material medium for its prpagation

Question 5

Transverse waves

Answer 5

When the particles of the medium vibrate in a direction, Perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, in form of crests and troughs, and can only travel through solids and liquids, the waves are transverse waves

Question 6

Longitudinal waves

Answer 6

When the particles of the medium vibrate along he direction of propagation of the wave, i form of compressions and rarefractions and can travel through solids liquids and gases, these waves are known as longitudinal waves
