Soundenergy is a form of energy that is associated with the vibration of matter. It is a type of mechanical wave that is produced when an object vibrates and transfers energy through the medium (such as air, water, or solids) as a series of compressions and rarefactions.
When an object vibrates, it causes the particles in the surrounding medium to vibrate, creating a series of compressions and rarefactions that travel as a sound wave. The sound wave continues to travel until it reaches an obstacle or an absorptive surface that stops or absorbs the energy.
All organisms have structures and systems with separate functions. Students can:
Develop and communicate an evidence-based scientific explanation of the role of different organs or structures that are important for an organism's survival - in both plants and animals
