Explanation: With sound waves, the energy travels along in the same direction as the particles vibrate. This type of wave is known as a longitudinal wave , so named because the energy travels along the direction of vibration of the particles.

In what direction do sound waves travel from a vibration source?
The wave carries the sound energy through the medium, usually in all directions and less intensely as it moves farther from the source.
In what direction form does sound travel?
In sound waves, the particles move in the same direction as the wave is moving, so you wouldn't be able to see them like ripples in the air, instead they make areas in the air where the particles are more squished together, and areas where the particles are further apart.
How do sound vibrations travel?
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. This movement is called sound waves, and it keeps going until the particles run out of energy.
What does sound need to travel?
Sound needs a material medium for their propagation like solid, liquid or gas to travel because the molecules of solid, liquid and gases carry sound waves from one point to another. Sound cannot progress through the vacuum because the vacuum has no molecules which can vibrate and carry the sound waves.
