What type of waves are sound waves and how do they transfer energy?
Sound is manifested as a compression wave in a medium. the energy compresses and rarefies the medium transferring the energy to another location (and getting dissipated along the way).
What two type of waves transfer energy?
ALL waves transfer energy.
How can nuclear energy transfer to another type of energy?
I'm not sure but it can transfer into heat and sound energy, ill check it up but im pretty sure about my answer... It can also be transfered into radiant, or light energy... example: When a nuke( nueclear energy) hits the groun, it makes a loud BOOM!(sound) and it makes fire(heat energy), and then the fire glows(light energy).

Why does force affect energy transfer?
There are different types of energy transfers; the details depend on what type of energy transfer you are thinking about.
What type of energy is acoustic?
sound energy.
What type of energy is a violin?
Sound Energy;)
What is the difference between energy transfer and conversiion?
Energy transfer: take it somewhere else. Energy conversion: change it to another type of energy.
What type of energy is given off when a sound is heard?
It is called sound energy.
Can radiation take place in a vacuum?
No. There is also the transfer of mass. All matter contains energy, thus the movement of mass in vacuum is another method of energy transfer. However, for transferring thermal energy, radiation is the only method that can take place inside a vacuum as it doesn't need particles to travel through where as conduction and convection do.
What type of energy transfer is using a pot holder to lift a pot?
isnot energy type
What type of energy does a food web transfer?
It is generalay chemical energy.
Which form of energy is used to produce sound?
Sound is a form of energy... There may be many energy transformations before it becomes sound energy based on the instruments used. == == == ==
