Which type of energy is the kinetic energy caused by the vibration of particles in a medium

Sound energy
Elastic energy
Thermal energy
Mechanical energy

1 answer

The type of energy caused by the vibration of particles in a medium is thermal energy. Thermal energy is associated with the temperature of a substance and includes the kinetic energy of particles that are vibrating or moving within the material. Sound energy involves the propagation of vibrations through a medium, but it is specifically related to audible sound waves rather than the general vibrational kinetic energy of particles within a substance.
