Question

Which statement most describes how the amplitude and energy of a sound wave
are affected as the wave travels through air and as the wave travels through a
brick wall?
The sound wave has less energy and a larger amplitude when traveling through a
brick wall than when traveling through air.
The sound wave has more energy and a smaller amplitude when traveling
through a brick wall than when traveling through air.
The sound wave has more energy and a larger amplitude when traveling through
a brick wall than when traveling through air.
The sound wave has less energy and a smaller amplitude when traveling through
a brick wall than when traveling through air.

Answer 1

The sound wave has more energy and a larger amplitude when traveling through  a brick wall than when traveling through air.

Answer: Option 3.

Explanation:

The waves move vitality from the wellspring of the sound, for example a drum, to its environment. Your ear identifies sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your ear drum to vibrate. The greater the vibrations the stronger the sound.

We know light can travel through a vacuum because sunlight has to race through the vacuum of space to reach us on Earth. Sound, however, cannot travel through a vacuum.
