-- A strobe light can display the mechanical vibrations in a material that generates or responds to sound, such as a loudspeaker cone, a tuning fork, or a guitar string.

-- An oscilloscope can display a graph of sound vibrations, if they're first intercepted and converted to an electrical signal by means of an appropriate transducer, such as a microphone.

Which piece of apparatus would you use to change sound energy into electrical energy?

A microphone is a device that converts sound energy into electrical energy. Sound waves cause a diaphragm in the microphone to vibrate, which in turn generates an electrical signal that represents the sound.


What piece of apparatus would you use to change sound energy into electrical energy?

A microphone converts sound energy into electrical energy. It does this by capturing sound waves emitted from a source cause movements in a thin metallic diaphragm and an associated coil of wire. A magnetic field is developed around the coil with the help of a magnet and as the coil moves within this field under the effect of the sound waves, it produces an electric current. The amount of current produced depends on the velocity of that motion, so it is velocity sensitive.


Does sound produce waves?

Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.


What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?

Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.


What are sound waves and how do they travel?

Sound waves are mechanical waves. So it needs badly a material medium. Air is one such medium. Through this medium sound gets traversed in form of longitudinal waves and not in transverse mode. Even the medium is water or even metal it has to traverse only in longitudinal mode. But in strings waves could be passed both longitudinally and transversely. Using Meld(e)'s string apparatus stationary waves are produced.

How would you construct an acoustical Michelson interferometer to measure sound wavelengths?

The Michelson device operates on Light waves. It is not a sound apparatus. One cannot use a telescope to analyze sounds, right?
