When you listen to music do particles in air travel all the way from the stereo speaker to your ear?

No they do not. Sound moves in waves.

It is rather hard to explain. In the diagram above the lines are closer together in some places than others, these areas move along from left to right as shown below

If you replace the lines with particles of air you can get a good idea of how sound waves move through the air. The air particles move for a bit when they get closer together but after the sound wave has passed they return to their original position, they don't move along with the wave.

What happens when you leave your stereo on for too long?
The stereo will begin to heat up thus causing a small potential fire in the back on the stereo unit. It will then begin to travel down the fuel lines and into the engine, where an explosion will promptly occur. This may cause death to near-by lifeforms.
How does the sound travel from the band to the fans?
The vibrations from the speaker that the instruments are connected to.
Where does Radio waves travel long distances by bouncing off electrically charged particles?
ionosphere
How far will beta travel?
That depends on the energy of the beta particles and the medium they are passing through. In air beta can travel several inches to several feet. Beta cannot pass through a single layer of aluminum foil.
How do sound waves travel through media?
Sound waves travel through vibrations. If one particle starts vibrating it will pass on that movement to other particles that are close by. This means that sound travels quickly through solids as the particles are closely packed and readily pick up movement from their neighbours; it travels less quickly through liquids as the particles are close enough to pick up vibrations but not tightly packed like they are in solids; sound travels slowest through gases (weird, but true - even though we rely on gases to pass on the sounds we make in speech) because their particles are much further apart. If there are no particles - like in a vacuum such as you'd find in space - then sound can't travel at all!
Where is Honda Accord speaker fuse?
the car has a radio fuse in the engine fuse box and maybe one in the car but I have never heard of a speaker fuse speaker wires are very low power and there is no need to worry of a power surge as the only travel from the stereo to the speaker and the stereo fuse would blow if too much power went
What does sound travel as in a medium?
It needs particles, so Air, Liquid or Solid to travel. so the medium is any particles, so if there is no particles, sound cannot travel.
Does sound energy need particles to travel through?
Yes they do need particles to travel through!
What does the speaker in Travel feel?
desire
What is needed for a sound to travel?
Particles, e.g gas particles in air, because sound travels through the vibration of particles. Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum, as there are no particles.
What does the imagery in Travel helps the reader do?
get a sense of the speaker's life, share the speaker's desire, and understand the speaker's hopes.
What is the medium sound from a stereo would travel through?
air!
Why cant sound travel through outer?
Sound, unlike light, needs a medium through which to travel. Sound relies on vibrating molecules or particles. Sound can travel through air at about 3 km/s as it vibrates particles and then the neighbouring particles etc. but it can travel much faster through steel because the particles are much more tightly packed.In outer space there are not enough particles to vibrate, no neighbouring particles for the very few particles that are there. No particles means that there is no sound.
What particles travel at a random manner in low temperatures?
Any particles.
What paths do particles of gas travel in?
Gas particles move randomly in all possible directions and travel in a straight path.
What is Speaker saying about trains in this poem travel?
think about it
Sound need particles to move does this mean it can travel in a vacuum?
No, they cannot. Sound waves are compression waves (mechanical longitudinal waves). This means they travel through mediums with the particles of the medium vibrating in the same or opposite direction of the wave, as opposed to perpendicular. Therefore, a sound wave needs particles to vibrate/oscillate for it to travel. If there are no particles, it cannot travel. A vacuum is defined by the absence of matter, meaning there are no particles. Thus, sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
