Sound energy
Sound energy
is a
form of energy
associated with the
vibration
of matter. The
SI unit
of sound energy is the
joule
(J). Sound is a
mechanical wave
and as such consists physically in
oscillatory
elastic
compression
and in oscillatory displacement of a
fluid
. Therefore, the
medium
acts as
storage
for both
potential
and
kinetic energy
as well.
