Energy Absorption

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to explain something to a friend at a party, but your voice seems to get lost in the noise. This is similar to how sound energy is absorbed when it hits a wall; just as your voice gets absorbed by the party's chatter, sound waves lose their energy as they penetrate solid objects. In both cases, the energy doesn't just vanish—it transfers into something else, like your voice blending into the collective buzz of the party, or sound waves being absorbed by the wall, turning into heat energy within it.
