Why does sound cause glass to vibrate?

Glass is a rigid material that can transmit sound vibrations effectively. When sound waves hit a glass surface, they cause the molecules in the glass to vibrate and produce sound. The frequency and intensity of the sound determine the amplitude of the glass vibrations.


What is the maximum level of sound intensity, measured in decibels, that can cause permanent hearing damage, such as 1100 dB sound?

The maximum level of sound intensity that can cause permanent hearing damage is around 120-130 decibels. Sound intensity of 1100 dB is extremely high and would cause immediate and severe damage to hearing.


Does sound waves cause objects to vibrate?

Sound waves are detected by the fact that the waves can cause objects to vibrate. The vibrations from the sound waves must be converted into a signal and then amplified and processed. Your ear and a microphone are common detectors of sound.


What is the maximum sound level in decibels that can cause permanent hearing damage, with 230 dB being the threshold?

The maximum sound level that can cause permanent hearing damage is around 130 decibels. Sound levels above 130 decibels can lead to hearing loss.


Why does a glass break when you reach a certain sound?

A glass can break when exposed to a specific frequency of sound because the sound waves can cause the glass to vibrate at its resonance frequency, leading to a buildup of energy that can exceed the glass's strength and cause it to fracture. This phenomenon is known as acoustic resonance.
