HOW SOUND PRODUCED?

When objects make sounds, they move back and forth. This
movement is called vibration. Without vibration, there will be no sound.

There are imaginary waves produced when an object vibrates. We

call these sound waves. A sound wave travels at different speed
through different media. As sound travels, a sound wave is created in
response to a vibration and how easily they move back to their original
position.

When a vibration is slow, slow moving waves are produced. When

the vibration is fast, fast moving waves are produced until such time that
the vibration stop.

The travel of sound is slow when the vibration is slow. It is fast

when the vibration is fast.

SOUND TRAVELS IN DIFFERENT MATERIALS

Sound is a type of energy made by vibrations. When any object

vibrates, it causes movement of the air particles. These particles bump
to the particles close to them, causing them to vibrate.

Sound could be produced and has ability to travel through solids,

liquids and gases.

If the particles are very close to each other, sound wave passes
quickly. This is observed in solid materials. In most liquids, the
particles are not attracted as strongly to each other as those in solid
particles. Sound waves tend to move a little less and bounce back
slowly than in a solid.

In a gas such as air, sound waves travel most slowly. The

particles of gas are not attracted to each other as strongly as the
particles in liquid, thus sound waves travel slowly.

Sound travels differently in different types of materials.

Sound travels fastest in solid, slower in liquid and slowest in air. Sound
cannot travel through vacuum.
