What else can I help you with?
Which matter spreads in all directions?
Sound waves can spread in all directions as they travel through a medium, such as air or water. When an object vibrates it creates sound waves that radiate outward in all directions.
Does a drum set radiate sound energy?
Yes, a drum set radiates sound energy when it is played. This sound energy is generated through the vibrations of the drum heads and cymbals, which produce the audible sound waves that propagate through the air.
A wide range of energy waves that radiate from the sun?
Electromagnetic radiation.
Why can radio waves travel through space but sound waves cant?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves that need a medium to propagate. This can be air,water or solids. Sound waves work like a truck hitting a line of cars. The wave travels through the line from back to front but would not if there were no cars. Radio waves, like light are electromagnetic waves and don't require a medium to radiate. That is why we see Sunlight but do not hear the constant roar of the Sun's fusion activity.
Do sound waves always travel in straight lines?
No, Sound is a pressure wave not a linear wave, the waves radiate spherically from their point of origin. Also as a pressure wave, it travels in a medium and if that medium is moving the sound wave propagation can be modified by that movement (bent). They also behave like sea waves impinging on a headland and can be bent round objects in their path in complex ways.

When a sudden break or shift occurs the energy radiates?
When a sudden break or shift occurs, the energy is released in the form of vibrations or waves, which radiate outward from the source of the disturbance. This can result in the propagation of seismic waves in the case of an earthquake or sound waves in the case of an explosion.
What sound waves do?
Sound waves carry sound
What is the difference between emit and radiate?
To emit means to release or give off something, such as light or sound. To radiate means to send out energy, particles, or waves in a particular direction. Emitting is a general term for any kind of release, while radiating specifically refers to the spreading out of energy.
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
Sound waves are examples of what?
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
