Sound is produced. Vocal cords vibrate and produce sound.


What does it mean to vibrate?

When something vibrates, it moves back and forth (usually fairly quickly) . For example, if you hold one end of a ruler firmly over the edge of a desk, bend it up and then release it, the free end will vibrate to and fro. It will also start air moving to and fro and you will hear the sound waves traveling to your ears.


What is heat transfer through conduction?

Conduction refers to heat transfer through solids. It is due to conduction that if we heat one side of a rod and place our hand on the other side, we feel the heat.What, basically, happens is that at the point that you have heated the rod, the particles gain more energy. As the particles in a solid are fixed in their position - and can only vibrate - due to the increase in eneery, the particles vibrate faster about their equilibrium positions. When they vibrate faster, they cause the particles around them to also vibrate faster, increasing their temperature. When these particles also start vibrating faster, the cycle is repeated and they cause the particles around them to also vibrate faster, increasing their temperature as well. In this way, the disturbance is spread all over the rod, which is why you feel the heat on the other side of the rod, even though that side is not in direct contact with the heat.

How are skew different from parallel lines?

Skew lines do not lie in the same plane. Parallel lines do lie in the same plane. That's the difference. Neither of them are intersecting, so it can be confusing. Think of 2 highways that 'cross' with an overpass. While a highway is not a 'line' this should help you to understand. The 2 highways do not intersect; one goes 'under' and one goes 'over', so they are skew. This is different than two roads that have an intersection, with a traffic light or stop sign. Even the 'road' term is the same as the Math term!
