Question

as a sound wave travels, what happens to the particles in the medium it travels through? (1 point) the particles remain stationary, allowing the wave to pass around them. the particles bump into each other, moving back and forth but after it passes they remain where they were initially. the particles bump into each other, moving back and forth as well as traveling with the wave as it moves, ending up far from where they started. the particles travel outwards with the wave, ending up far from where they started.

Explanation:

Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to travel. The particles in the medium vibrate back - and - forth as the wave passes through them, but they do not travel with the wave. They return to their initial positions after the wave has passed.

Answer:

The particles bump into each other, moving back and forth but after it passes they remain where they were initially.
