Question

How fast do waves travel?

Answer 1

Wave: An energy-transferring disturbance is referred to as a wave. A wave can only transport energy and not matter. The medium is the material that a wave travels through.

1. There are many distinct sorts of waves, including light, sound, ocean, seismic, and others. In a vacuum, light waves move at a speed of$3x{10}^{8}m/s$. Airborne sound waves travel at a speed of$340m/s$.
2. The slowest wave components with the shortest period and the closest space between crests may be moving at less than$5$ miles per hour while they are in the deep ocean, far offshore. The elements with the longest durations may move at speeds of more than $35mph.$
