Sound itself is not a medium, rather, sound is the continuous waves in the medium. The medium can be water, air, metal, wood, and other similar materials.
Sound is that which causes the medium to squeeze/relax, squeeze/relax up to perhaps 20,000 times every second. Your eardrum is pushed in and out by these waves, or vibrations, and passes the information to the brain which interprets the vibrations as, "Hearing something".
Some animals, like bats and dogs, can hear much higher-pitched sounds. (that is, sounds that vibrate at more than 20,000 times in a second.)
What else can I help you with?
What makes up sound waves?
Sound waves are made up of alternating zones of high and low pressure, created by the vibration of a sound source. As the sound waves travel through a medium such as air or water, they cause particles in the medium to vibrate back and forth, transmitting the sound energy. This vibration is what our ears detect as sound.
Does everything make a sound?
vibrations(:
What makes the speed of sound change?
There are some factors. Temperature, medium are that factors.
Does sound travel up or down in a vacuum?
Sound does not travel in a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there is no material for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot travel up or down in a vacuum.
What kind of motion makes sound?
Vibratory motion makes sound. When an object vibrates, it creates sound waves that travel through a medium, such as air, and are perceived by our ears as sound. The frequency and amplitude of the vibrations determine the pitch and volume of the sound produced.
What sound does a snowy owl make?
It makes a medium to high pitch 'oo' sound that may be drawn out to last for several seconds.
What makes all sounds?
Release of energy in a medium capable of supporting the transmission of a sound wave.
Explain why sound speeds up when the temperature rises?
Sound speeds up when the temperature rises because the molecules in the medium vibrate faster due to the increase in thermal energy. This results in a higher velocity of sound waves through the medium.
How would you explain the concept of sound travel to someone who is unfamiliar with it?
Sound travels in waves through a medium, such as air or water. When something makes a noise, like a person speaking or a bell ringing, it creates vibrations that move through the medium and reach our ears, allowing us to hear the sound. Sound travels at different speeds depending on the medium it is traveling through, with air being a common medium for sound to travel through.
Why does sound have to have medium to travel?
Look up "How dose sound travel?" and you get part of the answer. The medium (thing) has moleclus and pitacles. If there were no medeum there's moleclus and pitacles and if there's no moleclus and pitacles there's, well, no sound.
Why would you not hear if the moon blew up?
Because there is no medium to transmit the sound.
Why sound of light can't be heard?
Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. Light, on the other hand, travels as electromagnetic waves and does not require a medium. Therefore, light does not produce sound waves that can be heard by the human ear.
