A sound wave has a fixed amount of energy. Because sound waves usually move outward in a circular pattern of increasing size, that energy gets stretched out over a larger and larger area, and the energy eventually becomes so thin as to be undetectable, or too quiet to be heard.
What else can I help you with?
Sound requires time to travel?
Yes, sound waves travel through a medium, such as air or water, by causing particles to vibrate back and forth. The speed at which sound travels depends on the medium it is traveling through, with sound traveling faster through denser materials like solids compared to gases. This movement of particles allows sound to be heard by our ears.
Sound waves in a certain time is called?
A specific instance of sound waves at a particular moment in time is often referred to as a sound wave snapshot. This term highlights the temporary nature of sound waves as they travel through a medium such as air or water.
What machine allows you to see sound waves?
An oscilloscope is a machine that allows you to see sound waves. It displays the waveform of an electrical signal that represents the sound waves in real time.
Frequency is the of sound waves produced in a given?
Frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time.
What is the relationship between sound, light, and frequency?
Sound, light, and frequency are all forms of waves that can be measured in terms of frequency. Sound waves are vibrations in the air that we hear, while light waves are electromagnetic radiation that we see. Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time, and it determines the pitch of sound and the color of light. Sound and light waves can interact with each other, such as in the phenomenon of sound waves creating light in a process called sonoluminescence.
Say true or false. all waves are traveling disturbances that carry energy from place to place?
It is true. A wave is a disturbance through space or time that carrys energy. For example, lets say sound waves. A sound wave carrys the energy (sound) to you.

What type of wave is sound waves?
sound waves are compression waves, or longitudinal waves. sounds that we hear are actually just compressions and rarefactions of air particles, meaning the air particles move closer together for a time period then spread apart farther then they normally would(a rarefaction)

How are beats produced?
When two or more sound waves are traveling at different frequencies and amplitude, there will be a time when these waves overlaps (superimpose) or cancel out each other. This will form a highest amplitude point and also a point where there is no displacement. This is called a beat.
Can sound waves originate in a small space and spread out to cover a bigger space?
As of being waves, sound waves does just that. They start from origin and spread out. Sound waves will however quickly fade with distance and time.
In sound waves do compression waves move faster than rarefaction waves?
No, The sound waves itself travels at the slowest speed of its medium regardless of rarefraction or compression, which effects the frequency of the sound wave (how many peaks pass through in 1 second). So a 500hz tonal would pass through at the same time as a 50hz tonal, but the 50hz would have much less energy passing by per second than the 500hz tonal.

Why is it not possible to use sonar to determine the speed of an object travelling faster than the speed of sound?
Sonar uses sound waves to measure distances by calculating the time it takes for the sound waves to bounce back. However, when an object is traveling faster than the speed of sound, the sound waves emitted by the sonar system cannot catch up with the object to bounce back, making it impossible to accurately determine the speed of the object using sonar.
Why does the sound stop after a short time?
sound waves dissapate depending on location
Frequency is the of sound waves produced in a given?
Frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time.
What is the main characteristic of sound?
Sound waves travel at great distances in a very short time. But as the distance increases the waves tend to spread out.
