“We know that sound is a form of energy. So, the large amount of energy produced due the sound pollution in cosmopolitan cities can be used to our day to day needs of energy. It also helps us to protect bio diversity in urban areas”. Do you agree with this statement? Explain.

As the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can be transformed from one form to other. And sound is also one of the forms of energy; Therefore It is possible to produce energy from sound. Sound consists of electromagnetic waves which contain energy; the problem is we do not have the knowledge to convert that energy into something more useful. So the answer is YES, and deeper study on the subject is required to achieve it.

It may be possible if we can concentrate sound at some particular point by refraction, total internal reflection or some other phenomena of sound .The blast of sound can create music, noise and destruction. With a collector or energy-absorbing panel adapted to the sound, you can save this energy.

Also the biodiversity in area can be protected because high levels of sound causes damage to their ears and also cause other disorders. Thus using the energy to produce other forms of energy can reduce the high levels of sound in that area and thereby will protect the bio diversity.
