Why is sound considered energy?
Sound is considered energy because it is a form of kinetic energy produced by the vibration of particles in a medium, such as air or water. These vibrations travel as waves, carrying energy from the source of the sound to our ears, where they are detected and interpreted by the brain.
Velocity of sound depends on?
The medium through which it is propagating. For exampl if the sound waves are travelling in air they will move slower than those travelling through a wall speed of sound in solids > speed of sound in liquids > speed of sound in gases
What does most of the sound you hear travel through?
Most of the sound you hear travels through air. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through the air and reach your ears, where they are processed by your brain as sound.
What is sound a type of?
Sound is a type of wave that is created by vibrations travelling through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. Sound waves carry energy that our ears can detect and perceive as sound.
What happens if you are travelling faster than the speed of sound?
When travelling faster than the speed of sound (supersonic speed), a sonic boom is created. This is a loud noise produced when an object passes through the air at a speed greater than the speed of sound. It can be disruptive and can lead to regulations on supersonic flight over populated areas.
If you cover your ears and hum what is the sound travelling through?
Your jaw bones. Then up through the anvils and stirrups to your eardrums.
The process of sound waves travelling to the brain is known as what conduction?
The process of sound waves traveling to the brain is known as auditory conduction. This process involves the vibration of the eardrum, which then transmits the sound waves through the middle ear bones to the cochlea in the inner ear. The hair cells in the cochlea then convert the sound waves into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.
How do you hear the sound coming from a drum?
Through sound waves travelling as vibrations through the air.
How low or high a sound seems?
Sound is pressure waves travelling through the air. The brain can detect the difference in sound frequency, based on the distance between pressure waves, by the ear which physically responds to incoming sound waves. Volume, frequency and direction are identified, then translated and sent to the brain as electrical signals.

What is the speed of sound travelling through glass?
It is approx 4540 metres/second
Does sound travelling through a very dense object cause time to slow down for it?
Sound travels faster through dense objects.
Why is sound considered energy?
Sound is considered energy because it is a form of kinetic energy produced by the vibration of particles in a medium, such as air or water. These vibrations travel as waves, carrying energy from the source of the sound to our ears, where they are detected and interpreted by the brain.
Is it Mach or times the speed of sound?
Mach is the speed of an object expressed as a multiple of the speed of sound in the same medium. Thus, an object travelling at 686 metres per second through air, at sea level, is travelling at Mach 2 because sound would travel through it at 343 m/s. However, it the object was travelling under water at the same speed then it would be travelling at approx Mach 0.46 since sound travels at 1484 m/s through water.

Why it is unable to hear sound traveling through water?
Because you've never listened? I have, and I find it quite easy to hear sound travelling through water.
What wave creates sound?
Things vibrating, such as a speaker or your voice box.
