Which statements accurately describe sound waves? Check all that apply.

Sound waves are transverse waves.
Sound waves require a medium to transfer energy.
Sound is heard when a vibration strikes the ear.
Sound waves can only travel through liquids and gases.
When particles of a medium interact, part of the wave’s energy is lost.
A wave’s energy can be distinguished from other movements of the medium.

Respuesta :

Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which require a medium to travel. The statements that are true about sound waves are:

  • Sound waves require a medium to transfer energy.
  • Sound is heard when a vibration strikes the ear.
  • When particles of a medium interact, part of the wave's energy is lost.

Sound waves are mechanical waves, which require a medium to travel. The medium can be solids, liquids, and gases. The statements correct about sound waves are:

  • Sound waves can only travel through mediums. Sound waves cannot be traveled through a vacuum.
  • Sound waves are not transverse waves because their propagation is parallel to the direction of energy transport.
  • The particles of sound waves when interacting, are some of the energy are lost as heat.

Therefore, options, 2, 3, and 5 are correct.
