   Apr 14, 2016 · Scientists use ultrasound to create 3D shapes in mid-air. Sound waves make it possible for a person to get the sensation of touching a solid object — even one that it isn't there. This illustration represents one of those invisible shapes a person might feel. Ultrahaptics. By Stephen Ornes.

   Sound waves are produced by all vibrating objects. Loudspeakers work by converting electrical energy into kinetic energy. This vibrates the cone which creates the sound waves.

   Sep 21, 2019 · For example, when a person talks, the movement of their mouth creates waves of moving air. These sound waves travel into your ear canal and hit your eardrum. This causes the ossicles to vibrate. These three small bones are called malleus, the incus and the stapes. They are also known as the hammer, the anvil, and the stirrup.

   Jul 23, 2023 · Water waves shake energy over the surface of the sea, while sound waves thump energy through the body of the air. Sound waves are compression waves. They're also called longitudinal waves because the air vibrates along the same direction as the wave travels.

    How does a sound wave work?

    • A sound wave is a longitudinal wave. When an object vibrates it produces a longitudinal wave which travels through air to your ear. For a sound to be heard you need three things: Sound can pass through: Sound waves are produced by all vibrating objects. Loudspeakers work by converting electrical energy into kinetic energy.

    How does sound move?

    • As we've already seen, sound moves by squashing and stretching gases like the air. But things are different in solids, which are impossible to squash and stretch in the same way. Where the molecules in a gas can bounce back and forth to carry sound energy in pressure waves, the atoms or molecules in solids are essentially locked in place.

    Can light travel faster than sound?

    • Not even Superman managed that. In fact, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. By comparison, sound travels just 340 m in one second, about the length of three and a half hockey pitches. The table summarises some similarities and differences between light waves and sound waves:

    Sep 12, 2019 · Sound is a form of energy that is caused by the vibration of matter. Sound is transmitted through waves, which travel through solids, liquids and gases. We are most used to the sound travelling through air, but sound is able to travel faster and further in solids and liquids.
