What is the name of sound waves that move through water?
They are called sound waves. Their name does not change just because they travel in water.
What is it called when a land is surrounded by water on 3 sides?
The name given to land with water all the way around it is an Island.
Which heart sound results from the AV valves closing?
S2, also called the second heart sound, or "dub" when characterized by the sound lub-dub.
A technique that directs sound waves toward the ocean floor to map its depth is called?
That technique is called sonar.
If there is nothing there to receive the vibration is it truly sound?
The vibration will always hit something (unless its in a vacuum- sound can't travel through a vacuum) and receive the sound, but its a philosophical question really whether it makes a noise if no one is around to hear it!
What is the bending of sound around corners?
diffraction
What is a sound wave bending around a corner?
diffraction
Why can you hear around corners but cannot see around corners?
Sound waves have a longer wavelength which allows them to bend around corners more than light waves.
The bending of a wave as it passes an edge or an opening is called?
Diffraction. Bending of light/sound as it moves from one medium to another - Refraction.
Which wave interaction explain why sound waves can be heard around corners?
reflection
What property of sound allows you to hear sound waves around corners?
Because the sounds bounce off of walls.
Can sound travel around corner?
Sound certainly can travel around corners. Sound can also travel through hard surfaces like walls and bathroom surfaces as well.
How does diffraction affect sound waves?
Important parts of our experience with sound involve diffraction. The fact that you can hear sounds around corners and around barriers involves both diffraction and reflection of sound.
What wave propety allows sound waves to travel around corners?
In a perfect system Energy Waves would not travel around corners unless reflected off of something. In the case of Sound the medium of travel is the Air. The Wave is "Reflected" off of air molecules and 'travels around the corner. The motion of the air molecules 'reproduces' the sound waves' travel.
Why you can hear a sound around a corner?
I suggest you play in the bathtub. Sound moves in the same way that waves move on the surface of the water. You will SEE how sound goes round corners.
How does diffraction allow us to hear music from another room?
Sound waves are diffracted around corners and so can be heard when the source of the sound is not in a straight line.
Why do sound waves move around everyday objects whereas the bending of light is not generally observed?
its because the sound waves travel faster in air..... and also recommended the waves
