Which of the following BEST describes how sound waves move through air?

1. Sounds waves cause molecules to squeeze together in the air and become more dense
2. Sound waves cause molecules to spread out and move away from each other
3. Sound waves cause molecules to vibrate in longitudinal waves
4. Sound waves shoot molecules in straight lines through the air

I would say 2. Sound waves cause molecules to spread out and move away from each other.

Explanation:

Thats what I was taught...

are there answer choices to this question? this seems like a question where you have options to choose from.

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
