Does energy make up sound?

Sound is energy. It is part of the electromagnetic spectrum.


Is sound energy part of electromagnetic energy?

No, the two are unrelated.


What part of the ear changes the sound into electrical impulses?

the cilia inside the cochlea


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 contains sound energy?

As you may know, the sound energy is basically a wave or many waves traveling through the air( or anything that is not a void ) and those waves carry energy not matter. the sound waves or sound energy is a part of kinetic energy because the energy is not waiting to be unleashed, in fact it's moving within the air or any other material


What happens to potential energy after it decreases?

The potential energy will have converted into some other kind of energy. For example, for an object in free fall, it converts to kinetic energy (the object moves faster); if there is some resistance, part of this energy will convert to heat.


Why is an echo weaker than original sound?

You hear the echo as if from a longer distance; the sound energy gets dispersed over a larger area. Part of the energy will also be absorbed in the wall or whatever reflects the sound.


Which piece of apparatus would you use to change sound energy to electrical energy?

-- a microphone -- the part of a telephone near your mouth


What changes the state between a solid and a liquid?

more energy, for the most part heat, changes the state between solid and liquid.
