When the energy of a sound wave is transferred to a particle of a medium and causes it to vibrate and generate heat the sound wave is?
Reflected
Light waves differ fundamentally from either water waves or sound waves because?
Sound and water waves are mechanical and therefore need a medium. Light is an electromagnetic wave which travels as a particle-wave, so it does not need a medium to travel through.
Does light behave as a wave or a particle in chemistry?
Light doesn't really feature in chemistry but on the rare occasions it does it is as a wave and a form of energy, not a particle.
Sound travels in what kind of wave?
Sound is a longitudinal, mechanical wave that requires a medium.
What is the result of a reflected sound wave?
The result of a reflected sound wave is obviously an echo.
How does sound travel a material?
They pass from particle to particle by vibrating the particle. When the particle touches another particle, it transfers the sound energy to that particle. Hence the Sound Wave.
How does sound travel though a material?
They pass from particle to particle by vibrating the particle. When the particle touches another particle, it transfers the sound energy to that particle. Hence the Sound Wave.

Your perception of the amplitude of a sound wave is?
The amplitude of a sound wave is a measure of the distance between the rest position and the maximum displacement of the particle from its rest position. It is equal to half the total displacement of a vibrating particle.
What is a sound wave of a high pressure called?
A sound wave with high sound pressure (amplitude) or high sound particle displacement (amplitude) is a sound wave that has a high loudness.
The quality in sound that corresponds to color in light is?
sound and light both share wave properties (ie. frequency and wave length). unlike sound light behaves as both a wave and a particle.
How is it possible for a sound wave to transmit energy but not matter?
Sound wave's transmit energy and not matter because sound travels from particle to particle transferring only energy. That is why when sound travels only the energy travels and the particles just collide with each other but stay in their positions.
Is sound exhibits dual nature or not?
If you're talking about the "wave-particle duality", then no.
The first particle to move in a sound wave will eventually bump into the receptor?
yes
What is one way that light differs from sound?
sound is a wave. while light has wave-particle duality. It acts like a wave but consisting of tiny packets (particles) called photons. hope this helps.
How does energy propagate as a wave?
The details vary, depending on the type of wave. For example, in a sound wave, one particle bumps into the next, and transmits the kinetic energy.
