Question: How do the vibration of the particles behave when sounds travel through solids?

Sound is a type of energy made by vibrations. These vibrations create sound waves which move through mediums such as air water and wood. When an object vibrates it causes movement in the particles of the medium. The molecules in a solid are packed much closer together vibrations are passed along much more easily from one molecule to the next. Sound waves travel at 343 m/s through the air and faster through liquids and solids. The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound. For example a drum to its surroundings.
