What else can I help you with?
Light is faster than sound Why you see a ball hit before you hear it?
Because the light traveled faster then the sound of it hitting the ground.
How is sound heard through solids?
In solids the molecules are so tightly compacted that when it is hit be something the sound waves will travel through the solid object where if you put your ear up to the solid object you will be able to hear the hitting sound. Like all waves there is a limited distance the sound waves can travel, so you will only be able to hear the hitting sound if you are close enough to the point at which the hitting occured. Much like knocking on a table
What happens when light or sound is bounced off an object?
When light is bounced off an object, it can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted depending on the properties of the object's surface. When sound is bounced off an object, it creates an echo as the sound waves reflect off the surface and return to the source, resulting in a repeated or delayed sound.
You see the cricket ball hitting the bat first and then hear the sound?
Light travels faster (much faster) than sound.
What energy transformation occur in a drum?
In a drum, mechanical energy from hitting or playing the drumstick against the drumhead is converted into sound energy as the drum vibrates and produces sound waves.
Is pounding is onomatopoeia?
Yes, "pounding" is considered an onomatopoeia because it imitates the sound that it describes, like the rhythmic thumping noise of a heavy object hitting something repeatedly.
Is wood block a percussion instrument?
technically yes it is because your hitting it against another object to make a musical sound
Why is air compressed when an object is traveling faster than the speed of sound?
The supersonic object is hitting air molecules faster than they can get out of the way, so they pile up.
How can sound and light both be reflected?
Most objects we know of will reflect both. If you can see an object, its reflecting light. Chances are this same object will bounce sound waves too, no matter how insignificant.A thick, wide mirror will reflect light and probably a good amount of sound.
When watching a baseball game we often hear the bat hitting the ball after we actually see the hit. Why?
The speed of sound is about 350 m/s (about 400 yards/second). If you are 400 yards away from the batter, then it could take about 1 second for the sound to reach you in the more distant stands
Is brita a short a sound?
The knock of the knuckles of a hand against a door. The noise of an explosion. The noise made by a heavy falling object hitting the ground. The sound of a finger snap.
Why do you make a louder noise by hitting something harder?
More energy in, more energy out. Hitting something harder means that you are applying more energy in the 'hit'. Sound waves are a form of energy. So your hit might produce only louder sound, or you might break the object. Either way, the energy you put into the system comes out as sound and/or a broken object and/or some degree of heat.
