Question

unit 7 physical interaction test
sound waves produced by a vibrating object are
○ transverse waves.
○ seismic waves.
○ compressional waves.
○ electromagnetic waves.

Explanation:

Sound waves are mechanical waves that propagate through a medium by causing particles to vibrate back - and - forth in the direction of wave propagation, which is the characteristic of compressional (longitudinal) waves. Transverse waves have particles vibrating perpendicular to the wave direction. Seismic waves are related to earthquakes in the Earth's interior. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium and are not sound waves.

Answer:

compressional waves
