What is the increase in density of a medium due to wave travel?
compression
Why Oil has medium density?
Oil has a medium density because it is a mixture of various hydrocarbons with different molecular weights. This mixture gives oil an average density between light and heavy hydrocarbons, making it fall in the medium density range.
Which waves are bent as they pass from one medium to another medium of a different density?
Refraction is the bending of waves as they pass from one medium to another of different density. This occurs because the speed of the wave changes depending on the density of the medium it is passing through.
The speed of any mechanical wave depends on?
The speed of any mechanical wave depends on the medium through which it is traveling and the properties of that medium such as density and elasticity. In general, waves travel faster through medium with higher elasticity and lower density.
Which state of matter has medium density?
The liquid state of matter typically has medium density compared to solid and gas states. In liquids, particles are closer together compared to gases but not as tightly packed as in solids, resulting in medium density.
