Question 15
Easy

A student strikes a tuning fork, which vibrates and produces a sound wave that travels through the air.

A vibrating tuning fork with air particles shown to its right. The diagram shows alternating regions where the air particles are bunched together (compressions) and spread apart (rarefactions). A horizontal arrow pointing from left to right indicates the direction of energy transfer.

Describe the motion of the air particles as the sound wave travels from the tuning fork through the air.
