The sound is made of vibration so as it moves, it vibrates the material to carry the sound. This also depends on what kind of material.

Why does your speakers vibrate when it is to loud?

Because you have them too loud. It will ruin your speakers if you keep it up. Actually, they always vibrate - it is the conversion of electrical signals to sound waves that causes the cone of a speaker to move back and forth rapidly, creating the sound wave that we hear. If the vibrate is more of a 'buzz', then the speakers are being pushed beyond their capacity, and will fail, as the original poster noted. Sound IS vibration. The sound waves hit your ear, and they cause your ear muscles to vibrate back and forth, and small organs convert this physical movement back into electrical energy which your brain then recognizes as sound. Sound can not travel in a vaccuum, it needs air or another medium to travel through.


What does a microphone and speaker have in common?

They both convert between electrical impulses and sound waves. The microphone converts sound waves into electrical impulses and the loudspeaker converts electrical impulses into sound waves.


What are some technological applications of sound waves?

Sonar (or Sound Navigation and Ranging) is a type of technology that was designed to help with navigation, communication and locate objects underwater. Sonar projects sound waves then listens for the echo of the emitted sound waves to detect objects.


What is the technology that uses sound waves to find objects under water called?

SONAR (sound navigation and ranging)


How the radar is working?

Something to do with sound waves, like a bat uses to 'see'.

Through what medium do sound waves travel?

Sound waves travel through a medium such as air, water, or solid materials.


What materials will sound travel through?

Sound waves will travel through gases, liquids, and solids. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum.


Can sound waves travel through air?

Yes, sound waves can travel through air. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (like air, water, or solid materials) to propagate. In air, sound waves travel by compressing and rarefying air molecules as they move through the medium.


How do sound and light waves differ in terms of their propagation through different mediums?

Sound waves require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through, while light waves can travel through a vacuum. Sound waves travel slower than light waves and can be absorbed or reflected by different materials, while light waves can pass through most materials without being absorbed.


Can sound travel easily through a vacuum?

No, sound cannot travel through a vacuum because sound waves require a medium, such as air, water, or solid materials, to propagate. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate.


What are 3 examples of media that waves travel through?

Air: Sound waves travel through air and can be heard as sound. Water: Water waves travel through bodies of water like oceans, lakes, and rivers. Electromagnetic spectrum: Light waves, radio waves, microwaves, and other forms of electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum or various materials.


What is the following true of sound waves?

Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solid materials. The speed of sound waves varies depending on the medium they travel through. Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which means they move in the same direction as the vibration of particles in the medium that carries the sound.


What is the type of waves that transmit sound?

Sound waves are mechanical waves, which means they require a medium (such as air, water, or solid materials) to travel through. These waves propagate through the vibration of particles in the medium, carrying the energy of the sound.


What can a medium travel thru?

Nothing (say a vacuum). The medium is what the sound travels through.


Where do sound waves travel through?

Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. In air, sound waves create vibrations that travel through molecules in the form of pressure waves. These waves carry the sound energy and allow the sound to be heard by our ears.


What materials sound can travel through?

sound can travel through air , water and lots more


How fast do sound waves travel through a vacuum?

You'd have to say that the speed of sound waves in vacuum is zero, becausesound can't travel through vacuum at all. Not even an inch. Sound needs amaterial substance to travel through.
