Answer:
Sound waves travel at 343 m/s through the air and faster through liquids and solids. The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound, e.g. a drum, to its surroundings. Your ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your ear drum to vibrate. The bigger the vibrations the louder the sound.

Answer:
0.00034 m
Explanation:
Since the length of the aluminium bar, L is given by , L = 1.0000 + 2.4 × 10⁻⁵T and T = 14.1°C, we substitute the value of T into L. So, we have L = 1.0000 + 2.4 × 10⁻⁵ × 14.1°C = 1.0000 + 0.0003384 = 1.0003384 m. The change in length is thus 1.0003384 - 1.0000 = 0.0003384 m ≅ 0.00034 m
Answer:
D.vibrations that cause changes in air pressure
Explanation:
Sound is a type of wave.
A wave is a periodic disturbance/oscillation that trasmits energy without transmitting matter. There are two different types of waves:
- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. These waves are characterized by the presence of crests (points of maximum positive displacement) and troughs (points of maximum negative displacement). Examples of transverse wave are electromagnetic waves.
- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave. These waves are characterized by the presence of compressions (regions where the density of particle is higher) and rarefactions (regions where the density of particle is lower). Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.
Sound waves, in particular, consist of vibrations of the particles in a medium - most commonly, air - that occur back and forth along the direction of motion of the wave. Because of these motion, the air will have areas of higher pressure (which correspond to the compressions), where the density of particles is higher, and areas of lower pressure (which correspond to the rarefactions), where density of particles is lower.
