Do soundwaves die

Yes, in a sense. Since they were never living, they cannot die, but they can disappear in 2 ways.

1). Since sound waves are actually just air molecules bumping into each other, eventually, the sound wave dissipates enough that it is indistinguishable from normal molecular motion

2). The sound wave reaches the border between the atmosphere and space, where there are no air molecules and therefore no sound waves.

How do yow see soundwaves?

Soundwaves are typically invisible to the human eye as they are a type of mechanical wave that travels through a medium such as air or water. We perceive soundwaves through our sense of hearing when they cause vibrations in our eardrums, which are then processed by our brain as sound. Specialized equipment like oscilloscopes or spectrograms can be used to visualize soundwaves as waveforms or frequency patterns.


Do soundwaves require a medium?

No, soundwaves do not require a medium to travel through in a vacuum. In a medium like air or water, soundwaves propagate by creating compressions and rarefactions in the molecules of the medium, allowing the wave to be transmitted.
