Why does the loudness of a sound wave decrease as the wave travels away from it source?

The energy in the sound's vibration dies down, until it is no longer audible.

What happens to its energy when a pulse sent down a long string eventually dies away and disappear?

The energy gets absorbed by the string, and will be converted mainly to heat.

What happens to the energy in a consumer body when it dies?

Much of the energy is consumed by decomposers.


A pulse sent down a long string eventually dies away and disappears.What happens to its energy?

The energy is dissipated. That means it is absorbed, and somehow converted to other forms of energy. Typically, much of this dissipated energy gets converted into heat.


What energy transformations occur in a tuning fork?

The arms of the fork are oscilllating, so the energy exchange is between potential energy in the elasticity of the arms of the fork, and kinetic energy during that part of the cycle when the arms are moving. There is also a constant loss of energy to atmospheric damping as the sound dies away.


Why dies the energy of a sound wave decrease over time?

For one, as the sound spreads over a larger area, the intensity decreases. This is similar to a light becoming dimmer, the farther away you get away from the light source - the light, too, spreads over a larger area, so in both cases, less energy is available per unit area. On the other hand, part of any sound (or light, or other wave) will be absorbed - converted to other types of energy.

What happens to a shore when a tsunami hits?

It disappears until the tsunami dies away. I don't know what happens to a tsunami but this is what I think.
