RG027004

Even though a person’s ear won’t feel any different while listening to music, sound does transfer a small amount of energy to the person’s ear, which makes parts of the ear vibrate.

RG038003

The distance between the molecules that make up the matter and how far they are displaced by the sound affect how much energy can be transferred by sound.

RG195001

Sound transfers energy from a sender to an object by a series of molecular collisions, but the molecules do not travel from the sender to the object.

RG039003

Sound transfers energy through matter as the molecules that make up the matter collide with one another.
