Question

what is the importance of air in transmission of sound? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

air is important for transmission of sound because the wavelength of the sound travels through air .

Answer 2

$\huge{\underline{\sf{\green{Answer-}}}}$

Air acts as a medium for transmission of sound. When a sound wave passes through air, the particles of air vibrate back and forth, parallel to the direction of the sound wave. Thus, when a sound wave travels in the horizontal direction, then the particles of the medium also vibrate back and forth in the horizontal direction. Sound cannot travel without a medium and thus we cannot listen to sounds in the space because of absence of air.

What happens when sound travels through air?

• The source of a sound vibrates, bumping into nearby air molecules which in turn bump into their neighbours, and so forth. This results in a wave of vibrations travelling through the air to the eardrum, which in turn also vibrates.
