Particles in rocks do vibrate, but their movement is restricted by the strong bonds between them. These bonds hold the particles in place, preventing them from moving freely like in a liquid or gas. The vibrations in rocks are typically very small and not easily noticeable.

Why solid has definite volume and shape?

This is because of the particles are close together and dont move (they do vibrate)


Which direction do particles vibrate in transfer waves?

Particles in a transverse wave vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. In a longitudinal wave, particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation.


Why Doesn't Particles In A Rock visibly Vibrate?

The particles in a rock do vibrate, but these vibrations are very small and not visible to the naked eye. The atomic structure of rocks results in strong bonds between particles, which dampen the amplitude of their vibrations, making them less noticeable. At normal temperatures, the vibrations are on a very small scale, which is why we do not see them.

All states of matter have vibrating particles, but solids' particles vibrate only.


Do longitudinal wave particles vibrate perpendicular to wave direction?

No, in a longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate in the same direction as the wave propagates. This is different from a transverse wave, where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the wave direction.


What type of energy causes other particles to vibrate?

Thermal energy causes particles to vibrate. When thermal energy is transferred to an object, its particles gain kinetic energy, causing them to move and vibrate.


In which type of waves to the particles in the medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?

Transverse waves have particles that vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. Longitudinal waves have particles that vibrate in the same direction that the wave is moving.


Do particles vibrate slower when heated?

No, particles actually vibrate faster when they are heated. This increase in vibration is due to the higher energy levels associated with the increase in temperature.


Do gas particles vibrate while they move?

Not to my knowledge, they only vibrate if they are heated

Do particles in a solid vibrate around a fixed point?

No, the vibrations depend on how much energy the particles have. If a solid is heated from the left side, the particles on the left will vibrate more than the particles on the right. Solid particles vibrate as each individual particle, not as a group or around a fixed point.


How does conduction heat solids?

Heat energy from the source causes the particles to oscillate (vibrate) this chains and causes neighbouring particles to vibrate.
