How does sound wave produced energy?

They don't exactly produce energy; they haveenergy. Under certain circumstances, this energy can be converted to other forms of energy.


Why is a vibration necessary for a sound wave to form?

because its a mechanical wave, it requires an action to be formed and that produces energy ( as a sound)


Where does the electrical energy produced through wave energy come from?

The water in the sea rises and falls because of waves on the surface. Wave machines use the kinetic energy in this movement to drive electricity generators.


What wave is a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake?

What is the direct measure of energy from mechanical wave?

Amplitude is the direct measure of energy from a mechanical wave.=Waves are produced by something (a medium) vibrating. The farther the medium moves as it vibrates, the larger the amplitude of the resulting wave. For example, you can increase the amplitude of a wave on a rope by moving your hand up and down a greater distance. To do this you have to use more energy. The energy is transfered to the rope. The greater amplitude is a direct measure of the increased energy.=
