Best Answer

Sound waves are propagated as compression waves in air (and in other gases). They will be produced by any object vibrating at appropriate frequency. As far as humans are concerned, we can hear frequencies from about 25 HZ up to 15 kiloHz, though the upper register gets less efficient as you age. For music or speech transmission we use a loudspeaker which is some sort of diaphragm actuated by a moving coil which responds to electrical signals in this frequency range, and the diaphragm produces the compression waves simply by moving in and out. Sound waves travel at about 720 mph in air at normal temperature and pressure.

What are both sound energy and light energy transmitted as?

Sound energy is the energy produced by the vibration off objects. while light energy is a energy that travels in all directions of electromagnetic waves.


How is sound energy used to produce and transmitted?

sound energy can be transmitted from gases,plasma andliquids and as longitudinal waves, also called a compression waves. it requires a medium to propagate. through solids it can be transmitted as both longitudnal waves and transverse waves

Which type of energy is transmitted by vibrations of air?

Sound waves are transmitted in this manner.


How does sound from a vocal cord travel to a glass and shatter it?

The sound waves produced by the vocal chords contain energy and this energy is transmitted though the air to the glass, sound waves are pressure waves. The glass vibrates in resonance with the pressure variations and energy builds up in it to the point where it can shatter.

How does sound travel from instruments to your ears?

Sound creates waves in a material- compression waves. These waves are transmitted through the atoms/molecules in the material to the receiver. The denser a material is, the more effectively sound may travel; this is because the sound waves are transmitted more easily through the tightly packed molecules.

Why can't a sound wave be a transverse wave?

Sound is transmitted through gases, plasma, and liquids as longitudinal waves, also called compression waves. Through solids, however, it can be transmitted as both longitudinal waves and transverse waves. (Taken from wikipedia)


How sound waves arΓ© produces?

Sound waves are produced due to the vibrations of an object .Sound waves are produced by vibration. Everything on this earth causes some sort of vibration. When something vibrates it produces a sound.


What transmits a sound through solid?

Sound waves transmit sound through a solid, as well as air and water. Sound waves cannot be transmitted through a vacuum.
