A Classmate says that all sound waves should look the same, since they are all made by sounds of some kind.  Is her thinking correct? (a) Yes, she is correct.  All waves that are produced by sound would have the same characteristics (b) She is partially correct.  All waves produced by sound would have the same amplitude, but not the same wavelength (c) She is incorrect.  Sound waves can have completely different wavelengths and amplitudes.

Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).
