No, if that were true, every time you heard thunder you would feel a huge wind. The movement of air particles cause the sound to propagate (go through the air), but the particles themselves don't really go anywhere (except where they would have gone anyway in silence). It's analogous to waves on the water: If you drop a rock into a pond, you can see the resulting waves going out in growing circles, but the water molecules themselves are moving only up and down. A simple experiment that shows this is putting a small air-filled ball on a pond and dropping a rock into the water near it. Instead of the ball being carried away by one of the resulting waves, it moves only up and down.

Sound energy cannot pass through empty space true or false?
sound waves can only travel through particles as particles vibrate. this is why solids let sound pass easiest as the vibrations are passed on the easiest. in a vacuum there is no sound because there are no particles
Which is not true about S waves They change the volume of material by compression and expansion. They travel more slowly than P waves can travel. They shake particles at right angles to the direction?
The statement that is not true about S waves is that they change the volume of material by compression and expansion. S waves, or secondary waves, do not cause volumetric changes; instead, they move particles at right angles to their direction of travel and are slower than P waves. S waves are shear waves, meaning they only propagate through solids and cannot travel through liquids or gases.
Sound waves cannot travel in outer space True or false?
no trust me there isn't don't make me go in to explaning it
Is it true that the funnel for sound waves in the ear is the outer ear?
No, the funnel for sound waves in the ear is actually the outer ear. The outer ear acts like a funnel, directing sound waves into the ear canal towards the eardrum, which vibrates in response to the sound waves.
Can the Doppler effect occurs only with sound waves?
yes it is true for all waves.
What is the following true of sound waves?
Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solid materials. The speed of sound waves varies depending on the medium they travel through. Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which means they move in the same direction as the vibration of particles in the medium that carries the sound.
Is it true that sound waves travel faster through air than through solids?
Through solids because the particles are closer than gas particles.
Sound waves are example of longitudinal waves True Or False?
True. Sound waves are indeed an example of longitudinal waves. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave movement. This is how sound travels through air, water, and other mediums.
Sound energy cannot pass through empty space true or false?
sound waves can only travel through particles as particles vibrate. this is why solids let sound pass easiest as the vibrations are passed on the easiest. in a vacuum there is no sound because there are no particles
Is it true that sound waves can travel through a vacuum?
No, sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum because they require a medium (such as air, water, or a solid material) to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there is nothing for the sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate.
What is true about sound in a vacuum?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, it needs a medium to travel through as its the vibration of particles that allows its energy to progress
Only sound energy travels in wavesTrue or false?
False. While sound energy does travel in waves, other forms of energy, such as light and water waves, also travel in wave patterns.
Is this true or false mecanical waves din't need matter to travel through?
False. Mechanical waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solid material) to propagate. They transmit energy through the vibration of particles in the medium. Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
What is true about the velocity of sound waves in solids compared to air?
Sound waves travel faster in solids than in air because the particles in solids are closer together, allowing the waves to propagate more quickly through the material. This means that the speed of sound is higher in solids compared to air.
Name 1 thing sound can't travel through and why?
Sound cannot travel through vacuums. It needs a medium for its waves to process, meaning the molecules need to vibrate in order for sound to be heard. Space is a good example of a vacuum that sound cannot travel through. In the movie Alien, they tag line : "In space, no one can hear you scream," and that is true.
Is it true sound is created when objects vibrate?
Yes, sound is created when objects vibrate and transmit energy through the air as pressure waves. These waves travel to our ears and are interpreted by our brain as sound.
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!
