What happens to air as sound travels through it?
Sound is transmitted from a source to the surrounding air particles, which vibrate or collide and pass the sound energy along to our ears. Without any particles to vibrate we wouldn't hear the sound.
How does sound travel through the three states of matter?
Sound needs a medium to travel through, which means there must be particles present for it to travel (it cannot travel in a vacuum). Sound is formed by a vibrating object, and the vibrations are passed along the particles until they reach your ear, where they make your eardrum vibrate etc. This works in solid, liquid, and gases, as there are particles in all of them to pass along the vibrations. It works fastest in solids, as the particles are closest together, so can pass the vibrations on quicker. In liquids, the particles are still close, but less tightly packed, so sound travels a little slower than in solids. In gases, the sound travels even slower than in liquids, as the particles are very spaced out, so it takes a while to pass on the vibrations. Hope that helped!
What is the process in which heat is transferred down a metal rod?
Heat is conducted from one end of the rod to the other by atoms transferring energy from one to the next. Heat is energy given off by rapidly moving particles. As the heated particles move, they bump particles next to them. Those particles begin to move, then the next, and next, and so forth on down the rod.
How do particles move when a mechanical wave passes through them?
A P wave is a type of seismic wave that is caused by an earthquake. P waves are the first seismic waves felt during an earthquake. When the P wave moves, rock particles move back and forth along the direction of the P wave.
How far an object travels along a given path?
Distance
Wave in which particles in the medium vibrate back and forth along the path that the wave travels?
Longitudinal Wave
Wave in which particles in the medium vibrate back and fourth along the path the wave travels?
Longitudinal wave.
What is a wave in which particles in the medium vibrate back and forth along the path a wave travels?
A longitudinal wave, like sound.

In a longitudinal wave the energy of the wave moves?
The energy is not made of particles in the conventional sense. Particles of matter vibrate backwards and forwards along the direction of motion when a longitudinal wave travels. The particles possess kinetic energy.
A transverse wave travels along z-axis The particles of the medium travels along?
z-axis
The path that magma travels along is called a what?
vent
What path does Earth travel along?
The Earth travels along a path called the Ecliptic.
What is the name of the path along which the planets travel?
The path along which a planet travels is called an orbit.
What is a wave in which particles in the medium vibrates back and forth along the path the wave travels?
A longitudinal wave, like sound.
