Sound is a pressure wave. It is produced by vibrations which travel through the air (or other subtance) by molecules vibrating and pushing against each other.

Imagine taking a slinky and stretching it out with both your hands. If you suddenly push one side of the slinky towards your other hand, you can see the wave of energy move from one hand to the other. Sound travels by the same principle!




Through Particles in the air.

How do you calculate the distance in sound waves?

The distance in sound waves can be calculated using the formula: distance = speed of sound x time. The speed of sound in air at room temperature is approximately 343 meters per second. By knowing the time it takes for the sound wave to travel from the source to the receiver, you can calculate the distance the sound wave has traveled.
