How can heat be transferred through matter by the collisions of atoms or through space?
The transfer by collisions of atoms is called conduction. Transfer directly through space is radiationl
How do particles moves as energy is transferred through a sound wave?
It depends on what medium it is in. If it is in a solid medium, the particles will be closely together, or vibrating. If it is in a liquid, the particles will be spreaded out and moving slowly. If it is in a gas, the particles will be in moving rapidly.
How is energy conducted through a non-metallic solid?
the transfer of energy via the vibrating molecules of solids
What is the transfer of heat by conduction?
Transfer of heat by conduction is when transfer of heat occurs through touch. Vibrating atoms come in contact with neighboring atoms transferring some of their energy (heat).
Does radiation involve heat passing through particles?
Heat doesn't pass through particles. On an atomic or sub-atomic level, heat is the speed with which the particles are either vibrating or moving. Some kinds of radiation are related to the temperature of the particles that emit the radiation, other kinds are not.
What is it called when thermal energy passes from particle to particle?
Vibrating particles have vibration energy and they pass their energy to neighboring particles vibrating with less intensity. This happens in solids, wherethis energy is transferred from a hot region (where particles vibrate with more intensity) to a cooler region (where particles vibrate with less intensity). This transfer of energy is heat transfer, and this mechanism of heat transfer is called "conduction".

When a wave transfers energy what does it transfer through?
Vibrating Molecules
In what process is heat transferred through matter by collisions between particles?
conduction
All sounds are produced by?
Vibrating 'air' particles, through a transfer of energy; creating a sound wave which then reaches your ears and vibrates your ear drum. (doesn't have to be air, sound also travels through water ect)

Can heat be conducted through solids?
Yes... the transfer of energy via the vibrating molecules of solids.....
Why do waves travel faster through solid and slowest through a gas?
Because gas is less denser, and the chances that collisions between particles (collisions are wawes) will occur are much smaller than in solids.

Why does sound need a medium to travel through solid liquids and gases?
Sound is a pattern of vibrating particles of matter; these particles are necessarily in the form of a solid, liquid, or gas. If there are no particles of matter (in other words, a vacuum) then there will be no pattern of vibrations, since there is nothing to vibrate. Electromagnetic waves (such as light) are different. They are still generated by vibrating particles (usually electrons) but they do not consist of vibrating particles, but of electromagnetic fields. That is why they, unlike sound, can travel even in a vacuum.
What is the transfer of heat through a material by the collision of particles?
"conduction"
What does sound travel the best?
Dense solids.Related Information:Sound waves travel mechanically, by transferring their energy, molecule by molecule, through a transfer medium. So, the more dense the transfer medium (molecules closer to one another), the faster sound energy is transferred.Different perspective:Sound travels by vibrating the particles of the medium through which it travels. So sound travels best in steel as the particles are tightly packed, through wood or water but poorly in air, and not at all in a vacuum.
