Volume of a sound wave is equal to the what?

The amplitude of a sound wave is the same as its volume.


How does a sound wave work to transmit energy through a medium?

A sound wave transmits energy through a medium by causing particles in the medium to vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave. This vibration creates a series of compressions and rarefactions that travel through the medium, carrying the energy of the sound wave with them.
