Waves are vibrational movement plus travel along a straight line and come in two flavours. Sound waves are longitudinal, so the particles which they need to travel through are pushed and pulled, vibrating along the same axis as the direction of travel of the wave energy.

What type of wave is a flute wave?

A flute wave is a type of sound wave, specifically a longitudinal wave. When a flutist plays a note, it creates a series of compressions and rarefactions in the air, resulting in a sound wave that travels through the air to reach our ears.


What kind of wave in which amplitude changes to create sound?

The type of wave in which amplitude changes to create sound is a sound wave. Amplitude is the measure of the changes within the wave.


Is a longitudinal wave a sound wave?

Yes, a longitudinal wave can be a sound wave. Sound waves are a type of longitudinal wave that travel through a medium by compressing and expanding the particles in the medium in the direction of the wave's motion.


Which type of wave a sound wave is?

A sound wave is logitudinal because the motion of the medium (air) travels in the same direction as the wave (back and forth).


Is sound a type of electromagnetic wave?

No, sound is not a type of electromagnetic wave. Sound is actually a mechanical wave that requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves like light do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.


What type of s mechanical wave is a sound wave?

A sound wave is a longitudinal mechanical wave, meaning the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This distinguishes it from a transverse wave, where the particles move perpendicular to the wave propagation.
