Sound waves are transmitted through a medium, such as air, when a source vibrates and causes the particles of the medium to vibrate in a back-and-forth motion. These vibrations create a pattern of high and low pressure regions that travel through the medium as a sound wave. The human ear is then able to detect these pressure changes and interpret them as sound.

How is sound energy used to produce and transmitted?

sound energy can be transmitted from gases,plasma andliquids and as longitudinal waves, also called a compression waves. it requires a medium to propagate. through solids it can be transmitted as both longitudnal waves and transverse waves


What Is energy sent out as particles or waves?

Energy can be transmitted as both particles and waves. For instance, light energy is transmitted in waves, while heat energy can be transmitted through particles. These forms of energy help transfer energy from one place to another.

What type of waves can be transmitted in a vacuum?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves and radio waves, can be transmitted in a vacuum because they do not require a medium to travel through. These waves propagate through the vacuum of space and can travel long distances without the need for a medium.
