The Simple Home Experiments That Prove Sound Is Energy"},"content":{"rendered":"

I’m Ken Kuwako, your Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Let me ask you a sudden question: Have you ever touched sound? Your initial reaction is probably, “What? Sound is invisible! There’s no way you can touch it!” That’s a completely normal thought. We usually perceive sound as something we “hear” with our ears. However, the truth is, sound is fundamentally an “air wave.” It possesses a definite, physical force.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Today, using common household items\u2014aluminum foil and a balloon\u2014we’re going to conduct an experiment that lets you feel the true nature of sound with your fingertips and lips. It’s almost like magic: you’ll get to experience the moment your own voice moves a physical object! You might recall learning in elementary school science about the membrane of a drum vibrating when you hit it. But how exactly does that vibration travel through the air and reach our ears? Today, we’re going to unravel that mystery.<\/p>\n

First, seeing is believing. Check out the experiment in this video:<\/p>\n
