Sound was NOT invented, it always existed. It is a pressure wave in air and has been around at elast since the Earth's atmosphere was formed. It was somewhat longer before there was anything with ears or other sensors to hear it, however.

Which form of energy is used to produce sound?

Sound energy is produced by vibrating objects, which convert mechanical energy into sound waves. The sound waves travel through a medium, such as air or water, to reach our ears and be perceived as sound.


What is an example of sound energy changing into another form of energy?

1. sound energy incident on a panel causes the panel to vibrate (especially at resonant and coincident frequencies). sound energy -> mechanical energy 2. sound energy passing through an absorber will dissipate as heat. sound energy -> thermal energy


What role does energy play in sound?

Energy is essential for sound production and propagation. When an object vibrates, it creates sound waves which carry energy. The amplitude of the sound wave corresponds to the energy of the vibrations produced by the object. The energy of sound waves determines their loudness and intensity.


When a sound wave is absorbed its sound energy is changed into what?

When a sound wave is absorbed, its sound energy is typically converted into low-level heat energy.


What scientist discovered sound energy heat energy or light energy?

Various scientists have made contributions to the understanding of sound, heat, and light energy. For sound energy, Ernst Chladni conducted pioneering work on acoustics in the 18th century. Joseph Fourier and James Prescott Joule were instrumental in advancing the understanding of heat energy. In the case of light energy, key figures include Isaac Newton, who studied the behavior of light, and Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of the photoelectric effect.

it was discovered in the fifteen hundreds


Is a radio a sound energy?

A radio produces sound, and therefore sound energy. The radio waves, however, are electromagnetic energy, not sound. The function of a radio is to convert that electromagnetic energy into sound energy.


Is sound energy kinetic energy?

How did Isaac Newton discover sound?

he never discovered sound. -------------------------------- I thought he discovered gravity and contributed laws of physics about forces I don't believe he had anything to do with sound JJ3001


What are some questions that you can ask for sound energy?
