B Sound waves transmit energy through all forms of matter.
The scientist would explain to Billy that sound waves are vibrations that travel through all forms of matter. When the band is playing, the sound waves are traveling through the air and reaching Billy's eardrums, which then interpret the vibrations as music. This is why he can both hear and feel the music as it passes by.
As the band passed by, the beating drums and trumpets made Billy feel like his body was beating with the music. He could hear the music and he could feel it!
How would a scientist explain this to Billy?
