Question 3 of 5 Which object absorbs the most sound waves?
A. Earplugs
B. Tissue paper
C. Water
D. Air

The correct option is B.

Tissue paper

Explanation:

Tissue paper absorb most sound waves because it is porous. Materials that absorb sound most are highly porous like tissue because that have pores and allow sound to penetrate through it channels or cavities which makes it to loss part or all of it energy. This material allow sound wave to enter through it.

Sound energy is distributed as a result of heat loss which is caused by the air molecules of the pores wall in the material.

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
