Question

In science, what is defined as the transfer of energy from a vibrating object in waves that travel through matter?

Answer 1

sound

In science, sound is defined as the transfer of energy from a vibrating object in waves that travel through matter. Most people commonly use the term sound to mean what they hear when sound waves enter their ears. The tree above generated sound waves when it fell to the ground, so it made sound according to the scientific definition. But the sound wasnt detected by a persons ears if there was nobody in the forest. So the answer to the riddle is both yes and no!.
