Mechanical Waves
When a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate, it creates sound waves. Sound waves are mechanical waves that travel through a medium by causing the particles of the medium to vibrate and transfer energy in the form of sound.
vibrate or oscillate. This vibration is then transferred through the medium, causing particles in the medium to also vibrate. This transfer of energy produces the mechanical wave.
The transfer of energy.
A mechanical wave is formed when a source of energy causes particles in a medium to vibrate. Energy is transferred through the medium by the movement of the particles. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.
A medium is a substance through which a wave can move. This medium can be solid, liquid, or gas. The wave causes the particles of the medium to vibrate and transfer energy.

That is called the process of absorption of sound energy by the medium, which results in the conversion of sound energy into heat energy due to the vibration of particles in the medium.
Particles of the carrier medium to vibrate.
When a sound wave collides with molecules, it causes them to vibrate and transmit the sound energy through the medium. This vibration is what allows the sound wave to propagate through the material by transferring energy from one molecule to the next.
When sound is produced, there is a conversion of mechanical energy from the source (such as vocal cords vibrating or an instrument being played) into sound energy in the form of pressure waves in the air. This process involves the transfer of kinetic energy between the particles in the medium through which the sound travels.
