Hi guys, I have this question about energy that I sometimes think about and I thought a good way to get some sort of answer is to visit a forum dedicated to science so here I am. My question might sound a little daft so here it is. I'm probably alone in thinking this haha!
What happens to sound energy? They say energy can't be destroyed and can only change from 1 form to another.... like a light bulb changes electrical energy into heat etc. However, what happens if we listen to music? To my way of thinking our stereo system converts electrical energy to sound (and a bit of heat) but where does the sound energy go after the song is finished? does it just exist somewhere but in what form? if it can't just die or be destroyed then it has to exist somewhere.
Thanks
