When an object vibrates, it displaces particles of the medium from their equilibrium positions, causing them to oscillate. These oscillating particles then transmit the sound energy by exerting forces on adjacent particles.

When an object vibrates, it displaces particles of the medium from their equilibrium positions, causing them to oscillate. These oscillating particles then transmit the sound energy by exerting forces on adjacent particles.
Particles of the medium facilitate the transmission of sound by transferring energy through mechanical interactions. When a source vibrates, particles in the medium oscillate, creating compressions and rarefactions. These disturbances propagate as waves, with particles transferring energy to neighboring particles, thereby carrying the sound through the medium.
