prove that sound waves are mechanical waves with the help of an experiment
Dear Student,
This is a creative activity meant to be done by the students based on their understanding and imagination. We recommend you to perform this activity on your own and revert to us for feedback. However, I would like to give you some information and links.
The sound waves in air are longitudinal waves because when a sound wave passes through the air the layers of air i.e,molecules in air layers vibrate back and forth in the same direction in which sound travels. Also these waves are mechanical waves because they need a material medium for their propagation.
