Sound, a form of energy, is all around us. Even in a quiet place, you can hear sounds.

All matter is made of molecules. Molecules can be tightly packed together as in a solid or they can be loosely packed together as in a liquid or gas. When energy strikes the molecules of matter, it causes the molecules to vibrate back and forth, producing a wave that transmits sound energy. The closer the molecules, the more easily sound can be transmitted. Since molecules in a solid do not move very far and bounce back very quickly, a solid is an excellent transmitter of sound. Liquids do not transmit sound very well, but gases are the poorest transmitters of sound.

Best,
