Dear reader,
Is sound Energy or a force? I am confused.

yeah but is sound energy (like how light is energy)?
how are sound and light waves different? what makes 'em different?
Sound is a form of energy, not a force. It is a type of mechanical energy that is produced by the vibration of particles in a medium, such as air, water, or solids.
Sound travels in waves, which are created when an object vibrates and causes the particles in the medium to vibrate. These vibrations are then passed on to neighboring particles, creating a chain reaction that allows sound to travel through the medium.
The unit of measurement for sound energy is the decibel (dB). This unit measures the intensity or loudness of sound. The greater the decibel level, the louder the sound.
Yes, sound energy can be converted into other forms of energy. For example, when sound waves hit an object, they can cause it to vibrate, which in turn can create heat energy. Sound can also be converted into electrical energy through devices such as microphones or speakers.
Sound energy plays a crucial role in our daily lives. It allows us to communicate with each other through speech and hear the world around us. Sound energy is also used in various technologies such as music, sonar, and medical imaging. However, excessive exposure to loud sounds can have negative effects on our hearing and overall health.
