Variations in air pressure in waves
The acoustic energy gets converted into electric energy
Different is the speed of propagation. Scroll down to related links and look at "Acoustic or sound waves in air - Radio and light waves in a vacuum".
Acoustic energy
acoustic or sound energy is a kinetic form of energy sound waves can only be measured when they travel through a medium, eich means that they have some velocity and hence acoustic energy is kinetic energy.
It is sound energy.
sound energy.
Reflected acoustic energy.
a microphone
Acoustic energy is also called sound energy. Examples include a sonic boom, or simply the noise of a fan whirring in the background.
potential to acoustic energy
A wave transfers energy by displacing molecules. They are displaced parallel to propagation.
If you have ever been close to a large drum and it gets hit, then you are essentially getting hit with acoustic energy. A more popular alternative is if you are standing next to a speaker and you get hit when the woofer hits a low note. That is an example of acoustic energy. Other likely examples are explosions or things of an explosive nature. There are many examples of acoustic energy and out of all of the different types of energy that I am learning about, acoustic energy is probably the easiest. Other examples: A guitar, a baby crying, people yelling, laughter, phone(s) ringing, a person typing, etc... With acoustic energy and every day life, you can come up with all kinds of answers!
