๐ Topic Summary
Sound is all around us! It's a type of energy that travels in waves. These waves are created when something vibrates, like a drum or your vocal cords. Sound needs something to travel through, like air, water, or even solids. When these vibrations reach our ears, our brains interpret them as sound. No medium, no sound! ๐
