Sound is transmitted through gases, plasma, and liquids as longitudinal waves. However, through solids it can be transmitted through either longitudinal waves or transversal waves. To view the source and more information go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

What must happen for sound to be made?

Sound is produced through the vibration of an object. This vibration creates sound waves that travel through a medium, such as air, and reach our ears. When these sound waves reach our ears, they are translated into electrical signals that the brain perceives as sound.


How are sound waves made and what is the process behind their creation?

Sound waves are created when an object vibrates, causing the air particles around it to also vibrate. These vibrations travel through the air in a wave-like pattern, reaching our ears and allowing us to hear the sound. The process of sound wave creation involves the transfer of energy from the vibrating object to the surrounding air molecules, which then propagate the sound wave through the medium.


Can sound travel through vacuum tube?

No, sound requires a medium such as air, water, or a solid to travel because it involves the propagation of mechanical vibrations. In a vacuum, there is no medium for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot propagate.


Can sound waves travel through steel?

Yes sound waves are made from vibrating atoms or particles and so any medium which contains particles can allow a sound wave to travel through it. The only thing a sound wave cannot travel through is a vacuum.


What is made when light cannot travel through an object?

When light cannot travel through an object, it is usually because the object is opaque. This means that light is either absorbed or reflected by the object, preventing it from passing through.


How does sound made by a vibrating object travel?

A vibrating object transfers its energy to the air around it (i.e. the molecules and atoms of substances that make up the atmosphere). The energy is transfered as kinetic energy which causes a particle to move, thus colliding with another. Our ear "hears" the collision of air particles and relays it to our brain to be decoded as a sound.


What is word for a sound that is made?

The word for a sound that is made is "onomatopoeia." Onomatopoeic words are formed by imitating the natural sounds of an object or action, such as "buzz" or "click."


The first man-made object to break sound barriers?

The tip of a whip.


What is light and sound made of?

Light is made of particles called photons. Sound is made of pressure waves that travel through a medium such as air, water, or a solid material.


How Sounds travel through solids liquids and gas?

sound is made up of vibrations, and so you hear sound as the vibrations travel through the particles of solids liquids and gases.


What is the definition of ping?

The sound made by a bullet in striking a solid object or in passing through the air., To make the sound called ping.


What are sound waves made by an object moving faster than the speed of sound called?

at the speed of sound a shock wave is created; faster than sound the sound is behind you and it is called a sonic boom
