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 is the relationship between the movement of the wave and the movement of the particles of the medium?
The dispersion relationship depends on the medium through which the waves propagate and on the type of waves (for instance electromagnetic, sound or water waves). For sound waves, the denser a medium is, the faster the waves will travel as particles will be closer together and thus energy can be transferred among them at a greater rate.
What is the only type of energy you can hear?
The type of energy that you can hear is called sound.
The type of thermal energy transfer that takes place in fluids is mostly?
Mode of energy transfer in fluids is convection.
What type of energy transfer does grilling a hamburger use?
It goes from chemical to kinetic.
What waves carry more energy than other waves if the amplitudes of waves are equal?
In general, higher frequency waves carry more energy than waves of lower frequency if their amplitudes are equal. This is absolutely true of electromagnetic waves, and can probably be most easily demonstrated there.
What type of wave is the method of sound energy transfer?
Sound travels in mechanical longitudinal waves.
What two type of waves transfer energy?
ALL waves transfer energy.
What are waves that travel through matter called?
The type of waves that travel through matter are Electromagnetic waves.
What type of wave can transfer energy through a medium?
Mechanical waves.
