What is the movement of sound from one location to another?

Sound moves through a medium, such as air, by creating vibrations. These vibrations cause particles in the medium to compress and expand, creating a wave that travels from the source of the sound to the listener. The sound wave carries the energy of the sound from one location to another.


How can an explosion sound very loud to one person and very soft to another person?

This can happen due to differences in distance from the explosion, individual hearing abilities, and surrounding environmental factors. The person closer to the explosion may perceive it as louder due to receiving more intense sound waves, while the person farther away may perceive it as softer because the intensity of the sound has dissipated over distance. Additionally, factors like obstructions or reflections in the environment can affect how the sound is perceived.


As a sound wave changes from one to another it will often be refracted.?

When a sound wave changes from one medium to another (e.g. air to water), it can be refracted due to the differences in speed and density of the two mediums. Refraction causes the sound wave to change direction as it travels from one medium to another. The amount of refraction depends on the angle at which the sound wave enters the new medium.


How does sound travel from one person to another?

Sound consists of energy moving the molecules of a medium (air, water, rock), with a certain strength (amplitude) and vibration time (frequency). When a person speaks, the vibration from his voice pushes against the air molecules, which push against other air molecules, producing a widening wave front of molecular motion. The modulated energy of the vibration may eventually reach another person's ear. There the repeated impacts by the molecules are translated into nerve impulses, which the brain can interpret as vocal sounds. Because sound tends to spread out in all directions, there can be barriers directly between two people and yet one's voice may still be heard by the other.


Is sound a particle or a wave?

Sound is a wave, not a particle. Sound waves are created by vibrations and travel through a medium, such as air or water, to carry sound from one place to another.

Where is information communicated along the nerves?

Information is communicated along the nerves through electrical signals known as action potentials. These action potentials travel down the length of the nerve cell and are transmitted from one nerve cell to another at specialized junctions called synapses. In this way, messages can be passed from one part of the body to another.
