What is a series of compressions and rarefactions moving through a medium called?

A series of compressions and rarefactions moving through a medium is called a sound wave. Sound waves travel through different mediums, such as air, water, or solids, by transferring energy in the form of mechanical vibrations.


How fast does something have to vibrate to produce sound?

The human ear can sounds between about 20 and 20,000 vibrations per second. Anything that produces this kind of vibration will be heard. Note that this may include secondary vibrations; for example, if a string has its main vibration at 15 Hz (vibrations per second), then it will also have secondary vibrations at 30 Hz. 45 Hz., etc.The human ear can sounds between about 20 and 20,000 vibrations per second.

When something moves back and forth quickly what is it called?

It is called vibrations.


What is the intensity of vibrations measured in?

The intensity of vibrations is typically measured in units called decibels (dB) for sound vibrations, or in units such as meters per second squared (m/s^2) for mechanical vibrations.


What is it called when vibrations cause a second object to vibrate?

When vibrations from one object cause another object to vibrate, it is called resonance. Resonance occurs when the natural frequency of the second object matches the frequency of the vibrations of the first object, resulting in increased amplitude and sustained vibrations in the second object.
