Q

Explain in detail how sound is made

A

The tone for movement of an object is transferred to the particles in the air around it the Air particles next to the vibrating object Push on the air particles next to them and they push on air particles further away, and so on. Once a particle has pushed, swings back to receive another pushing the vibrating object and other particles around it. The swinging of the particles produces regions of high and low pressure move away from the object and create a sound wave
