Can sound be absorbed?
When sound hits a surface, it is either transmitted through the material or reflected back out, similar as light is. When sound is transmitted through matter, it is diffused (or spread out) by said matter; and also a small portion of the sound is converted to energy (such as heat). This is based on my personal understanding, it may not be 100% accurate but I you out.
How is sound transmitted to the eardrum?
Sound is transmitted through the air to the eardrum as variations in pressure above and below ambient atmospheric pressure.
Light that passes through matter is said to be transmitted?
TRUE
Can light be transferred across empty space?
Yes. Electromagnetic waves, like light, can travel through a vacuum, they need no medium in order to be transmitted. Unlike sound waves, which are compression waves what rely on matter in order to be transmitted.
What is description of sound?
vibrations transmitted through an elastic solid liquid or gas or a transmitted vibrations of any frequency

Why do sound travels through solid?
All that is required for sound to travel is the presence of atoms. One atom bumps into the next, transfers its kinetic energy, and thus the sound is transmitted. Solid matter is made up of atoms, ergo, sound can pass through it.
What sound is?
Sound is a mechanical wave that is an oscillation of pressure transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas, composed of frequencies within the range of hearing.Sound also travels through plasma.Sound is a sequence of waves of pressure that propagates through compressible media such as air or water. Sound can propagate through solids as well, but there are additional modes of propagation.
How is sound transmitted to the eardrum?
Sound is transmitted through the air to the eardrum as variations in pressure above and below ambient atmospheric pressure.
What type of thing does not transmit sound?
Sound and vibration are transmitted by matter. So a vacuum will transmit neither.

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.
Explain why cant sound travel through vacuums?
there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.
Sound travels through which type of matter?
Sound travels through all matter.
Is sound considered matter?
No, sound travels through matter but is not matter itself.
Is light that passes through matter is said to be transmitted?
TRUE
What is matter through which visible light is easily transmitted?
Glass?
