A vibrating object transfers its energy to the air around it (i.e. the molecules and atoms of substances that make up the atmosphere). The energy is transfered as kinetic energy which causes a particle to move, thus colliding with another. Our ear "hears" the collision of air particles and relays it to our brain to be decoded as a sound.

Are all sounds made by vibrating objects?

Yes, all sound is simply a vibration of the particles of matter. In space, where there is not continuous matter, there is no sound.


What made sound?

It was made by air vibrating called sound waves


Can sound waves travel through steel?

Yes sound waves are made from vibrating atoms or particles and so any medium which contains particles can allow a sound wave to travel through it. The only thing a sound wave cannot travel through is a vacuum.


What happens when a tuning fork that is still vibrating touches a wooden desk?

the vibrations made by the tuning fork cause the paper to preduce a humming sound.


Are sound waves are made up of chains and vibrating chains?

Sound waves are not made up of chains and vibrating chains. They are actually longitudinal waves that travel through a medium, such as air or water, caused by the disturbance of particles in that medium. These disturbances create a pattern of compressions (high pressure) and rarefactions (low pressure) that propagate as a wave.


Are waves made by vibrating charges that can travel without a medium?

Electromagnetic waves.


How does sound made by a vibrating object travel?

A vibrating object transfers its energy to the air around it (i.e. the molecules and atoms of substances that make up the atmosphere). The energy is transfered as kinetic energy which causes a particle to move, thus colliding with another. Our ear "hears" the collision of air particles and relays it to our brain to be decoded as a sound.


Is sound made when matter vibrates?

Ideally (as in, if things in science were perfect and all transfers of energy were completely transferable) no, sound is not necessarily made when matter vibrates. What do you mean by matter vibrating? like... atoms vibrating or chunks of ice vibrating or what?


Have human made objects traveeld by Neptune?

What causes the sound made by a bell?

The sound of a bell is created when the bell is struck, causing it to vibrate. The vibrations travel through the metal, causing it to produce sound waves that we hear. The shape and material of the bell also influence the tone and pitch of the sound.


How is the sound made with a clarinet?

by the reed vibrating. The tone is controlled by how much air can get out through the finger holes.


What is a zing?

A zing is a short high-pitched humming sound such as one made by a bullet or a vibrating string.
