Sound travels from a loudspeaker and transfers ... these types of waves are called transverse waves. Other waves travel because the particles move backwards and forwards a short distance in ...

Transverse Waves: To Do and Notice Hold the Slinky between ... the slinky but this time the node is in the middle while your hands are near antinodes. A sound wave is a longitudinal wave. A sound wave ...

Mechanical waves (like sound waves or water waves), on the other hand, need a medium to travel. EM waves are 'transverse' waves. This means that they are measured by their amplitude (height) and ...

Earthquakes create ripple effects in Earth's upper atmosphere that can disrupt satellite communications and navigation ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle ...

The area of sound is fascinating researchers and after a recent study of bendable sound waves that could result in localised reception, they have now delved into how sound can be used in weight loss.

Their results show sound wave disturbance patterns in unique 3D detail and provide new insights into how earthquakes generate these waves. Earthquakes create ripple effects in Earth's upper ...

The wildest trampoline in the world swings sideways and "around corners." Yet, no one can jump on it, because it's not even a ...

But let us not confuse these sounds with the traditional sound waves we have on Earth. They can’t travel in the vacuum of space like they do on Earth; the cosmos is full of vibrations ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich develop smart textiles that use acoustic waves instead of electronics to measure touch, pressure and movement precisely. SonoTextiles work with glass microfibres that conduct ...
