Medium AIR is responsible for the travell of air from one point to another point. In the absence of air , no sound can be heard , because the medium by which air travels , is absent. Just like in space, sound can't be travelled there because air is absent there.

What causes a guitar to have sound?

The strings that are on the guitar make the sound play. If you think about it, almost every instrument something vibrates to make a sound. In a saxophone, when you blow into the mouthpiece, it makes the reed move. When you hit a violin, it causes the string to move.


How does a piano proudce sound?

When you press down on the key of a piano, it causes a lever to move a hammer. The hammer then strikes a string that produces the sound.


Can sound waves move in a straight line?

Yes, sound waves can move in a straight line. When sound waves propagate through a uniform medium, they usually travel in a straight line until they encounter an obstacle or medium that causes them to reflect, refract, or diffract.


When your car is in gear it makes a weird sound and wont move?

How do you generate sound from speaker?

Sound is generated from a speaker through the vibrations of an electromagnet attached to a diaphragm. The electrical signal from an audio source causes the diaphragm to move back and forth, creating sound waves that travel through the air and are heard as sound.


How does a microphone capture sound?

A microphone works by converting sound waves into electrical signals. When sound waves hit the microphone's diaphragm, it vibrates and causes a coil or capacitor to move, creating an electrical signal that represents the sound. This signal is then transmitted to an amplifier or recording device.


What is the energy conversion in a speaker?

In a speaker, electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy and then into sound energy. The electrical signal from the amplifier causes the speaker cone to move back and forth, creating sound waves that we can hear.


Can sound move objects?

Yes, sound can move objects through a phenomenon called acoustic levitation, where sound waves create pressure that can lift and move objects.


How is sound energy carried?

Sound energy is carried through vibrations in a medium, such as air, water, or solid objects. When an object vibrates, it causes the particles in the medium to move in a wave-like pattern, transmitting the sound energy from the source to our ears.


What happens to air particles when sound travels through air?

When sound travels through air, the air particles are set into vibration by the source of the sound. This vibration causes the particles to move back and forth, creating a series of compressions and rarefactions. These compressions and rarefactions are what we perceive as sound.


What kind of energy transfers in a loudspeaker?

Electrical energy is transferred into mechanical energy in a loudspeaker. The electrical signal from the audio source causes the speaker cone to move back and forth, creating sound waves that we hear as sound.
