Vibrating gasses, like air, produce longitudinal waves of pressure, some of which can be perceived as sound. If the molecules are ionized, they will also produce electromagnetic radiation.

How the sound is produced?

by movement or air molecules which you produce from your mouth its basically the vibrations answer by manohar madhavarapu


What is the vibrating part of a harp?

The vibration in the string of harp . When strike on the string then produce sounds.


Why does sound travel quicker through aluminum than air?

Sound can travel through anything, except vacuum. Sound is the vibration of molecules, passing the vibration on to other molecules. As long as there's molecules, the sound can travel through it. However, the sound will slowly fade because every time a molecule gives the energy to another, a little energy is lost. And therefore, the more molecules you have, the more the energy will fade before passing through, and the weaker the sound will become. Eventually, the sound will be reduced to nothing. That happens in everything, but in some media it happens faster than in others.


What are molecules always doing?

Molecules in a solid are constantly vibrating. Heating a solid increases the vibration of the molecules. Solids stay fixed because of the attraction between their molecules. This can be broken by increasing heat and therefore vibration to the point of inducing a phase change.


Why does evaporation cool water?

During evaporation molecules of water leave the water surface and go into solution in the air. The temperature of the water is causes by the vibration of the molecules in it (micro kinetic energy). During evaporation it is the molecules with the biggest vibration that have the energy to leave the surface into the air. Thus the overall vibration energy of the water reduces and this means the temperature falls. Note however that energy can not actually be lost, so the energy taken out of the water by the departing molecules remains in water vapour in the air. When this vapour condenses back into water the energy is released, warming the place where it condenses. This energy is called latent heat (the latent heat of evaporation/condensation) and this ability to transfer heat form one place to another in a vapour phase is how a fridge works.

What will the vibration of air molecules produce?

Vibration of air molecules produces sound waves. These waves are propagated through the air as differences in pressure, which our ears can detect as sound.


What can these air vibration produce?

Sound


What is the movement of air molecules brought about by a source of vibration?

The movement of air molecules brought about by a source of vibration is known as sound. When an object vibrates, it creates fluctuations in air pressure, causing nearby air molecules to vibrate and transmit sound waves through the air.


How does the vibration in a xylophone produce sound waves?

When a xylophone is struck, it causes the bars to vibrate back and forth. This vibration sets the air molecules around the bars into motion, creating sound waves that travel through the air. The shape and size of the bars determine the pitch of the sound produced.


What happens to air when air compresses?

When air is compressed temperature increases because of the collission and vibration of molecules


What energy is produced when There is vibration in the air?

Sound energy is produced when there is vibration in the air. Sound waves are created as the vibrating air molecules compress and expand, transmitting energy through the air.


What happen to air when it is compressed?

When air is compressed temperature increases because of the collission and vibration of molecules


Which of these is the most important element with regard to the creation of sound?

The vibration of air molecules is the most important element in the creation of sound. When an object vibrates, it causes the air molecules around it to vibrate, producing sound waves that travel through the air.


What is a sound wave made of?

A sound wave is simply a vibration in the air molecules, or the molecules of some other substance. This vibration propagates as a wave, the energy gets transferred somewhere else.


How do sounds create vibration?

Sounds create vibration through the movement of air molecules. When a sound is produced, such as a voice or a musical instrument, it causes the air molecules to vibrate back and forth. These vibrations travel through the air as sound waves, which can be heard when they reach our ears.


What is sound wave made up of?

A sound wave is simply a vibration in the air molecules, or the molecules of some other substance. This vibration propagates as a wave, the energy gets transferred somewhere else.


Describe what must happen to make a sound?

sound is simply the vibration of air molecules. so, sound occurs whenever air molecules are vibrated. but in order for us as humans to hear that sound, the air molecules have to vibrate within a certain frequency range
