How Fuel Cells Work. Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells used in automobilesâalso called Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cellsâuse hydrogen fuel and oxygen from the air to produce electricity. The diagram and animation below show how a PEM fuel cell works.
Sound is what happens when you transmit vibrations of energy through that matter. Sound is made up of wave vibrations. When you talk aloud, the motion of your vocal cords causes the air to vibrate. Air is made up of molecules, and as those air molecules vibrate, they hit each other.
Sound is a mechanical wave that results from the back and forth vibration of the particles of the medium through which the sound wave is moving. If a sound wave is moving from left to right through air, then particles of air will be displaced both rightward and leftward as the energy of the sound wave passes through it.. A sound wave is a pressure wave; regions of high (compressions) and low pressure (rarefactions) are established as the result of the vibrations of the sound source. These compressions and rarefactions result because sound. a. is more dense than air and thus has more inertia, causing the bunching up of sound.
