From sound to electrical and kinetic (vibrations)
Sound waves need to cause vibrations in a medium in order to travel. Vibrations cannot be created in a vacuum, as there is no matter present.
It doesn't, sound travels slowest in air then faster in liquids then solids. Sound traveling through steel in many times faster then through air, for example. Sound travels through vibrations, and the vibrations pass through molecules until they reach your ear. If the molecules are far away it takes longer to pass the vibrations, but if they are closer together they will travel faster. Because the molecules are packed closer together in a liquid the sound travels faster through it, and even faster through solids.
because the particles are closer together so the vibrations are able to pass through them faster where as in gasses the particles are very spaced out so it takes longer to pass through the gas
No. Sound is transmitted as vibrations, that pass from one group of atoms to the next, thus, it requires the presence of atoms that transport the sound wave.No. Sound is transmitted as vibrations, that pass from one group of atoms to the next, thus, it requires the presence of atoms that transport the sound wave.No. Sound is transmitted as vibrations, that pass from one group of atoms to the next, thus, it requires the presence of atoms that transport the sound wave.No. Sound is transmitted as vibrations, that pass from one group of atoms to the next, thus, it requires the presence of atoms that transport the sound wave.
They travel through the air.
Yes, you will need a microphone to talk. It is the instrument through which your voice will pass. The microphone is an essential part of talking.

Because it picks up vibrations directly from the person's voice-box - instead of receiving them through the air, where they mix with background sounds.
Sound energy (vibrations in air pressure) are converted to electrical signals
A microphone converts the pressure waves caused by sound into vibrations within a coil which transforms the vibrations into electric signals. These electric signals can then be sent by wire or wireless to an amp or mixer of some sort for output to speakers or perhaps a recording device.
Sound is vibrations, therefore sound can pass through most solids, liquids, and gases.
because the particles are closer together so the vibrations are able to pass through them faster where as in gasses the particles are very spaced out so it takes longer to pass through the gas
Sound consists of a wave of vibrations of particles so it must have a material substance to pass through. So sound can pass through solids, liquids and gases but not through a vacuum. See http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/sound.htm
To amplify the vibrations of the strings, much like speaking into a microphone amplifies your voice.
