Question

How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?

Answer 1

•The sound travel through the medium just like a disturbances in the wave pool. Whenever someone shout's or there is source the sound is propagated in the form of information from 1 position to other due to energy wave propagation. You transfer the energy or you call it information they make the particle get energized, thus it goes in and on the particle next to the particle in same phase get energized and propagate the information. There are many factors which oppose this.. they may be interference of some other source of wave, depends on the elasticity of the medium the density coefficient also pressure variable ..

Answer 2

when viberating objects viberates forward they push the molecules of air in front of them it create a region of compression this compression in the year travels forward when the viberating objects move backward this creat a region of rarefaction in the form of compression and rarefaction the energy of viberating object reaches our ears that make the eardrum to viberate and we hear sound
