Acoustic energy is sound energy produced by vibrating objects. The definition of sound says that it is a disturbance of energy that comes through matter as a wave, and that humans perceive sound by the sense of hearing. Sound pressure is the effect and sound power (energy) is the cause. But our eardrums are only sensitive to the sound pressure, and so are microphone diaphragms.

So multiple alleles are more than two alleles for one trait, and  polygenic traits are one trait that is influenced by mulitple  genes. polygenic trait is a trait in which multiple sets of alleles are used to determine the trait, whereas in a single gene trait aka. a Mendelian trait, only one pair of alleles â¦ is used.
