Sound is basically a pressure wave - a group of atoms has a higher pressure, pushes another group of atoms, which in turn continue pushing against other atoms, thus transmitting the pressure. You can also think of it as one atom (or group of atoms) bumping into the next.

How is a possible for a sound wave to transmit energy but not matter?
Sound wave's transmit energy and not matter because sound travels from particle to particle transferring only energy. That is why when sound travels only the energy travels and the particles just collide with each other but stay in their positions.
How are earthquake sound light waves alike?
S Waves have the same wave form in air.
When sound is heard what structure would be the first to transmit the sound wave?
The eardrum.
Does a high frequency wave transmit more energy than a low frequency wave?
no.
What energy conversions occur in a radio?
In a radio you have the conversion of radio wave energy to sound wave energy.

What is a form of energy transmitted by rapid pressure changes?
Rapid pressure changes will transmit as a sound wave.
How are earthquake sound light waves alike?
S Waves have the same wave form in air.
What type of energy does light wave transmit?
Electromagnetic energy
When sound is heard what structure would be the first to transmit the sound wave?
The eardrum.
Does a high frequency wave transmit more energy than a low frequency wave?
no.
Are sound waves in solar energy?
No, sound wave is translating wave of the matter. The solar energy is the wave carried by photon which is an energy (non-matter). There is no way a sound wave would be carried in the stream of photon.
What energy conversions occur in a radio?
In a radio you have the conversion of radio wave energy to sound wave energy.
What are examples of wave Energy?
sound energy
What is the wave in which amplitude changes to create sound?
The wave in which amplitude changes to create sound is a sound wave. The intensity of the wave will be changed by energy.
Is a mechanical wave a sound wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a mechanical wave. Sound waves need a medium (like air) to travel through. The energy of the wave, the mechanical energy, is transferred into the medium through which it is propagated.
