Yes, air molecules can vibrate. When the molecules absorb energy, they begin to move and vibrate, creating sound waves. This vibration is what allows us to hear sounds in the environment.

What are objects that vibrate causr air molecules to?

Objects that vibrate cause air molecules to also vibrate, creating sound waves that propagate through the air. The vibrations push and pull air molecules as they travel, which our ears can detect as sound.


Does sound waves make air molecules vibrate?

vibrations make air molecules move


Why can only solids vibrate but liquid and gases can't?

Liquids and gases can vibrate. In fact sound is the vibration of air molecules.


Why does sound travel through the air?

Sounds vibrate the air molecules, when the vibrating molecules reach your ear, you ear the sound, there are no molecules in space, thus no sound in space


Do air molecules make sound?

No, air molecules themselves do not make sound. Sound is produced when an object vibrates and causes air molecules to vibrate around it, creating sound waves that travel through the air.


What type of energy is the movement of waves that vibrate air molecules?

The movement of waves that vibrate air molecules is known as sound energy. This type of energy travels through the air in the form of pressure waves, which are detected by our ears and interpreted by our brains as sound.


What is the sound produced from vibrating air molecules?

Sound waves are produced from vibrating air molecules. When an object vibrates, it causes the air molecules around it to also vibrate, creating changes in air pressure that travel as sound waves through the air.


What medium vibrates when a tambuli is sounded?

Air molecules vibrate when a tambuli is sounded. The sound waves created by the vibrating air molecules travel through the air to our ears, where they are interpreted as sound.


How does a fork create sound?

By vibrating ('oscillating') and making the surrounding gas (air) molecules vibrate, which makes our ear drums or microphone membranes vibrate.


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.


What happens to matter when sound is produced?

When sound is produced, energy is transferred from the sound source to the surrounding air molecules. These air molecules vibrate back and forth, creating longitudinal waves that travel through the air. This vibration of air molecules is what we perceive as sound.


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!"
