When sound waves travel through the compressions and rarefactions of the air molecules, the pinnain our outer ear picks up all of these and sends them through our ear tube. The ear drum, a stretched membrane which separates our outer ear and middle ear, starts vibrating due to the air molecules. These vibrations then strike the delicate, interlocked bones- Anvil, Stirrup, Hammer; starts vibrating. These are the smallest bones in the body. This then sends the vibrations through the organ of hearing or the cochlea. The cochlea then sends this to the brain through the auditory nerve. Above the cochlea is the organ of balance, which has a fluid in it. It is due to this fluid that we become dizzy when rotate at a high speed.

How is it possible for a sound wave to transmit energy but not matter?
Sound wave's transmit energy and not matter because sound travels from particle to particle transferring only energy. That is why when sound travels only the energy travels and the particles just collide with each other but stay in their positions.
How is sound and light different?
It is different because sound vibrates and light reflects
How are sound and light energy alike?
Sound is made out of waves and Light is made out of things called wave-particles and are kind of like waves, but not always. But if you mean Sound energy and Light energy I don't really know wat you mean with Sound energy
When the loudness of a sound and amplitude of a sound increases the amplitude of the sound produced will be?
The loudness of a sound is the same thing as the overall amplitude of a sound. When measuring sound, in general, you have pitch (frequency) and tone (amplitude, the measure of loudness). So, if you increase the amplitude of a sound wave pattern, you increase the overall intensity of the sound (the energy), and that can be measured on the logarithmic scale of decibels, since an unconstrained, undirected sound wave carries its energy outward in all directions, in an increasing volume of air (or other medium).
Do you have sound energy in your body?
Yes.
What type of energy do humans use?
Humans use muscular energy, sound energy and many other
What is the cause of sound energy?
Movement of a surface. In other words kinetic energy gives rise to sound energy.
Is sound energy renewable or nonrenewable?
Sound energy is renewable because it is converted from other renewable resources.
How does mechanical energy change to sound energy on a phone?
The transducer vibrates, producing vibrations in the air in the decibel scale audible to humans.
The definition for acoustic energy is?
Acoustic energy is sound energy produced by vibrating objects. The definition of sound says that it is a disturbance of energy that comes through matter as a wave, and that humans perceive sound by the sense of hearing. Sound pressure is the effect and sound power (energy) is the cause. But our eardrums are only sensitive to the sound pressure, and so are microphone diaphragms. Think of sound pressure level meters (SPL meters). You can scroll down to related links to discover more information about this topic.
What other energy can sound energy be converted into?
Heat and electricity at the very least.
What kind of energy does the speaker in the phone on the other end change the electrical energy?
SOUND
What kind of energy does the speaker in the phone on the other end change the electrical energy into?
SOUND
When electricity is run through a stereo what other type of energy is produced?
sound energy
What are two ways living things use energy?
We as humans (and this counts for animals too!) we use kinetic energy when we move around we also use sound energy when we speak

See the Discuss:What_is_the_definition_of_sound_energyto add to the conversation. You all are idiotsThe definition of sound energy is energy that is produced by vibrating sound waves. It is a form of energy that is related to a disturbance of matter.
