An insect that produces waves in the water and in the air what can these air vibrations produce?
These waves in the air are called Sound waves, waves that vibrate in the air and if your hearing is good these vibrations will vibrate our ear drums and cause us to hear them as noise or sound.
What causes the compressions and rarefractions that make up sound waves?
vibrating surfaces. Vocal chords vibrate at a particular frequency to produce a particular tone. Violin stings, car engines, woofers,
Can you use sound waves like a rocket to move through space in a ship of some kind so can sound waves propel you forward in space?
Sound can only move through matter. For example, when you speak, the vibration of your vocal chords create vibrations in the air, and each vibrating air molecule causes adjacent air molecules to vibrate, and those air molecules make other air molecules vibrate, and so on as the air "propagates" the sound waves. Space is a vacuum, so sound cannot travel through space.
Are sound waves are made up of chains and vibrating chains?
molecules
What must happen in order for sound waves to form?
Something must vibrate, to make the air (or whatever else the sound travels through) vibrate.
Do sound waves vibrate the air?
No. Vibrating air IS sound waves. With no atmosphere (no air, like in space), there are no sound waves.
When vocal cords vibrate they produce?
Sound. Vibrating vocal cords produce sound. The speed at which they vibrate determines whether the sound is high pitched or low pitched.
Does sound waves cause objects to vibrate?
Sound waves are detected by the fact that the waves can cause objects to vibrate. The vibrations from the sound waves must be converted into a signal and then amplified and processed. Your ear and a microphone are common detectors of sound.
Sound waves are waves of vibrating what?
Sound waves are waves of vibrations. When you speak, you vibrate a few air molecules, which vibrate and hit other air molecules, then more and more. when the molecules in your ear vibrate, you hear sound. But really, you feel the vibrations. Then why do we say hear, instead of feel? Because we are already used to saying hear. you wouldn't come to your friend and say, "Speak louder! I can't feel you!"

What do sound waves vibrate?
They vibrate the molecules in the substance they propagate in.A thin membrane will vibrate when hit by sound waves. This can be a ribbon element in a microphone or the tympanic membrane (eardrum) in an ear. This can also cause destruction of a structure. Certain bridges may be susceptible to sympathetic vibrations. The sound waves can cause the structure to start vibrating. These vibrations can increase in amplitude until the structure fails. The Tacoma narrows bridge (Galloping Gertie) failed from something similar, called aeroelastic flutter, which was caused by wind.
Does sound travel by air vibrating?
Sound waves exist as variations of pressure in a medium such as air. They are created by the vibration of an object, which causes the air surrounding it to vibrate. The vibrating air then causes the human eardrum to vibrate, which the brain interprets as sound. Go to the link below to find out more... http://www.mediacollege.com/audio/01/sound-waves.html
How do sound waves create matter?
They don't create matter and we know this by the law of conservation of mass. Sound waves exist as variations of pressure in a medium such as air. They are created by the vibration of an object, which causes the air surrounding it to vibrate. The vibrating air then causes the human eardrum to vibrate, which the brain interprets as sound.
Can a vibrating object be a source of sound?
Yes of course. But with enough amplitude to make the medium to vibrate and there by waves reaching the sensing ears ie ours
Why is a vibration of an object necessary for a sound wave to form?
sound waves cause the object to vibrate not vise versa
How do instruments work?
by vibrating sound waves
How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?
When an object vibrates, it forces the neighbouring particles of the medium to vibrate. These vibrating particles then force the particles adjacent to them to vibrate. In this way, vibrations produced by an object are transferred from one particle to another till it reaches the ear.
