Individual atoms are about one angstrom in size.
Sound waves -- the vibrations of matter that we can hear -- must have wavelengths of at least (about) .005 meters, or 5,000,000,000 angstroms.
Now a COLLECTION of atoms -- in any state of matter -- can indeed cause and propogate sound waves, and individual ones have a certain probability of reacting to those vibrations within that collections. But this probability is lower than that of a reaction due to heat or light in the medium carrying the sound.
When an individual atom changes it energy state, it emits a photon, which is FAR different from releasing a sound.
What else can I help you with?
Do sinkholes make sounds?
Sinkholes themselves do not make sounds. However, the process of a sinkhole forming or collapsing can create sounds such as rumbling or collapsing debris.
Why are atoms important and where do you find atoms?
Atoms are important because they make up everything in existence. Every object you can find will be made of atoms.
Is it formed with atoms is cells?
All matter, is made up of Atoms. Essentially everything formed within a cell is formed of Atoms, but that is not the direct connection. Atoms make up molecules, and molecules make up cells.
Is the headpin bigger than atoms?
yes, because a head pin is made of atoms. Atoms make up everything.
What tiny particles make up molecules?
Atoms are the tiny particles that make up molecules. Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Molecules are formed when atoms combine together through chemical bonds.
What has to happen to make sounds travel?
Atoms transfer sound energy through vibrations. If there are no atoms, such as in a vacuum, sounds cannot be transmitted.
How does an elephant respond if threatened?
they communicate with voices and sounds
Do dog whistles make dogs bark?
Dog whistles emit high-frequency sounds that are often too high for humans to hear. These sounds can get a dog's attention and may make them bark or respond in other ways, depending on how they are trained to react to the whistle.
Do domestic birds respond to predator sounds?
Mostly, yes. They seem to know what they're predators are. For instance, i have to birds, and they hate hissing sounds as that's the sound lizards and snakes make. Also, they do not like cats, even though they know ours they stay well away from him, as they just know that he is a danger to them. Sometimes, however, if you get them really used to certain sounds, then they may not respond as much. I think they would respond more to actually seeing a predator than hearing one.
How do l stimulate an epileptic 8 month old baby to look at objects or tunr her head when l make sounds?
Epilepsy is not a condition, its a symptom of a neurological disorder, but the fact that your kid doesnt respond to sounds is more likely a symptom of bad hearing, or he/she is more interested in something else.But because your baby is 8 months old its probably nothing, your kid just hasnt learned to respond to sounds yet...
What is matter that is composed of identical atoms?
Sounds like an element to me.
Do animals alwyas make sounds?
Animals do make sounds but it's not all of the animals that make sounds.
What sound do rabbits make?
Rabbits make sniffing sounds. The sounds they make aren't loud, but they also make soft squeaking sounds. They make different sounds for different moods.
Can a toddler can see in dim light?
No toddlers tend to respond to light and bright colors, so during the night they can't see but they can sense movement in the room; you can tell this by the sounds they make.
Is my english bulldog deaf?
Yes it's called being stubborn! What they are well known for!
What sounds do cats make that are similar to the sounds made by babies?
Cats can make sounds like meowing and purring that are similar to the sounds babies make, such as crying and cooing.
Can your ears respond to sound?
Most animal and human ears do respond to sounds. The outer portion of the ear functions to amplify sound waves, which are then processed inside the ear.
