The transfer of energy in sound wave is by the atoms of that medium. When mechanical energy is given by our mouth in the atoms near the mouth, the atoms gain the mechanical energy and convert it into kinetic energy and begin to move within their mean positions and while moving they hit each other and the energy is

is transferred to the other electron and this process continues until due to some factors the energy is transferred and heard by an observer at the other end.

Sound waves require a material medium for their transmission. The transfer of energy in sound will not occur in a vacuum.

In a sound wave why does the vibrations and energy transfer go in the same direction?

A sound wave is a longitudinal wave.thus the vibratoins and energy transfer go in the same direction


A wave in a rope is a transverse wave but a sound wave is an wave?

A wave in a rope is a transverse wave because the motion of the particles is perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. Sound waves, on the other hand, are longitudinal waves because particles move parallel to the direction of energy transfer.


Is there transfer of energy from one molecule to another as a sound wave?

yes


How is a sound wave interacted with matter?

reflection ,transfer energy, and ,be absorbent


What kind of wave uses matter to transfer energy?

A sound wave or an ocean wave, for example


Do sound waves transfer energy parallel or perpendicular?

Sound waves transfer energy parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the oscillations of particles in the medium are in the same direction as the wave itself.


What is the term for the transfer of energy by a disturbance that moves through space?

wave


How do vibrations produce sound?

A sound wave is a transfer of energy as it travels away from a vibrating source.


What type of wave is the method of sound energy transfer?

Sound travels in mechanical longitudinal waves.


How do sound waves transfer energy through a medium?

Sound waves transfer energy through a medium by causing particles in the medium to vibrate back and forth in the direction of the wave. This vibration creates a series of compressions and rarefactions that propagate through the medium, carrying the energy of the sound wave.


What is needed in transmation of suond?

Actually wave is a disturbance in the medium. For transfer of sound wave the medium is required.(gas, liquid or solid). the sound wave transfers energy with the molecules of medium by the molecule to molecule the wave will spread out until, the complete loose of energy of the wave.


What is a disturbance that carries energy through matter and space?

A disturbance that carries energy through matter and space is known as a wave. Waves can take different forms, such as sound waves, light waves, or seismic waves, and transfer energy by causing particles to move back and forth.
