How do air molecules enable sound to travel from a radio speaker to your ear?

Sounds waves are compressional, and compressional waves are made up of compressions and rarefactions. When the radio speaker pumps sound outward, it forms a compression by pushing the molecules in air together. The compression moves away from the speaker as these molecules collide with other molecules in air. When the sound travels back, a rarefaction is formed where the molecules are farther apart. The air molecules form compressions and rarefactions. Compressions and rarefactions make up compressional waves. A sound wave is a compressional wave.


What happens when a tuning fork is dipped into water?

it will fizz because the vibration will shake the water and create a motor effect


If a tuning fork vibrates over an open pipe what causes vibrations in the air in the pipe?

Resonance

Sound waves are waves of vibrating what?

Sound waves are waves of vibrations. When you speak, you vibrate a few air molecules, which vibrate and hit other air molecules, then more and more. when the molecules in your ear vibrate, you hear sound. But really, you feel the vibrations. Then why do we say hear, instead of feel? Because we are already used to saying hear. you wouldn't come to your friend and say, "Speak louder! I can't feel you!"
