Question
an object vibrates and produces sound. how do the particles of the medium around it respond? choose 1 answer: a they move along with the vibrating object b they vibrate in a similar manner c they create their own waves
Sound is a mechanical wave that requires a medium to travel. When an object vibrates, it causes the particles of the surrounding medium to vibrate in a similar manner to transfer the sound energy. Particles don't move along with the vibrating object as that would be bulk - motion, and they don't create their own independent waves in response to the sound - producing vibration.
