sound transmission

Sound transmission is the process by which sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solid materials. When an object vibrates, it creates pressure waves that move outward. In air, these waves reach our ears, causing tiny movements in the eardrum. In solids, vibrations pass directly through materials, allowing sound to travel efficiently. Different materials have varying abilities to transmit sound; for example, metal conducts sound better than wood. The clarity and volume of sound depend on the medium's properties, such as density and elasticity, which influence how quickly and effectively sound waves move from source to receiver.
