What happens when sound waves hit a soft surface?

Part of the energy of a sound wave is absorbed when it comes in contact with a surface, and the rest of that energy is reflected. A soft surface (such as carpet) will absorb much more of the sound than a hard surface (concrete), but the hard surface would still absorb some amount of energy.


Can sounds go through gases?

Yes, for example: air is made up of several gases (78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, 1% Argon, Carbon Dioxide, & Others) and sound travels through it. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to hear anything, just like in space where there is no gas, and no one can hear you scream.


What is the volume of the average 12 year old?

usually about 200db, but if you take into account the hair, and particle volume, its around 340db. A 12 year old will averagly be around 200db, one way to test this is to get a 12 year old (i assume your one) and go to a speaker and scream inside of it, the amount of milliseconds it takes to hear a eco is the volume. Hope this helped.


A type of wave that travels only in matter?

the only wave type that can travel through matter is sound. sound waves cause vibrations in the material, which means that the waves move faster the closer the atoms in the component are to each other. for example, water is denser then air, so sound will travel through the water faster than the air.


Why do balloons pop in the sun?
