Q1: When can you see a vibration?

[Answer]

Sounds are all around us: for example, the clicking of the computer keys as we type, voices, breaking glass, musical instruments and much more.

But how do you think they make the sounds we hear, and how do the sounds reach us?

The word we shall need in this topic is vibration, which means a very rapidly repeating back and forward movement. It's the key to understanding sounds.
