Sounds are waves and waves have energy.

∙ 14y agoYes because they carry sound energy.
Which is really the kinetic energy of vibrating air molecules, resonating at a particular frequency.
It isn't always air molecules. It could be water or a solid like a wall of floor. But yes they do carry energy. And it is kinetic evergy.

∙ 13y agoYes, sound energy travels in waves. Sound is a mechanical wave, and it travels through solids, liquids and gases as a longitudinal wave.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoA sound wave contains sound energy, a form of kinetic energy in which the molecules of a substance are vibrated to create a noise. (Note: Sound is not always audible to humans!)

What are two types of energy that travel in waves?
Take your pick: water waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves.
If sound waves travel away from there source there what decreases?
There energy decreases
Why can sound energy not travel travel through a vacuum?
Sound waves are a vibration of molecules in the medium through which it passes. A vacuum has no medium, it is void of matter. Thus, no molecules to vibrate, no sound waves.
Why do sound waves need matter to travel?
That's basically what sound waves are all about. Sound waves mean that energy is transmitted, by bumping, from one atom (or group of atoms) to the next.
How do sound waves travel what do sound waves need in order to travel?
sound waves bounce off of walls. they need air to travel.
How can heat and sound energy travel?
They travel in waves.
What are waves of energy that travel through earth?
Sound waves
What are waves that travel through matter called?
The type of waves that travel through matter are Electromagnetic waves.
Is sound energy the only energy that uses waves to travel?
No, light travels in waves too.
What are types of energy that travel in waves?
Take your pick: water waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves.
Why cant sound waves travel through a vaccuum?
No medium to carry the sound energy.
What process is energy transferred when sound waves travel through the air?
Mechanical energy
What are two types of energy that travel in waves?
Take your pick: water waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves.
How does sound waves travel in air and transfer energy?
As longitudinal waves. It transfers energy through vibrations of air layes
If sound waves travel away from there source there what decreases?
There energy decreases
