Sound can be visualized as a wave, where the disturbance caused by the source of sound moves through the medium without the actual particles of the medium traveling with it. Instead, the energy of the disturbance is carried forward by the interaction of neighboring particles, creating a wave-like motion.

Sound can be visualized as a wave propagating through a medium. When a source vibrates, it creates compressions and rarefactions in the medium, forming a series of oscillations. These oscillations move outward from the source, transferring energy from one particle to another. The motion of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, resembling the movement of ripples on the surface of water.
