Sound - Wikipedia Sound can propagate through a medium such as air, water and solids as longitudinal waves and also as a transverse wave in solids The sound waves are generated by a sound source, such as the vibrating diaphragm of a stereo speaker
The Science of Sound - NASA Sound waves are longitudinal waves that travel through a medium like air or water When we think about sound, we often think about how loud it is (amplitude, or intensity) and its pitch (frequency)
Understanding Sound Waves and How They Work - HowStuffWorks Sound waves are fundamentally pressure waves, traveling through the compression and rarefaction of particles within a medium Sound waves consist of areas where particles are bunched together, followed by areas where they're spread apart
Sound wave definition, characteristics, and use in acoustics What is a sound wave? A sound wave, also known as an acoustic wave, is a type of mechanical wave that propagates through a medium—such as air, water, or solids—due to the vibration of an object
Physics Tutorial: Sound Waves and the Physics of Music This Physics Tutorial discusses the nature of sound, its characteristic behaviors, and its association with the operation of musical instruments Attention is given to both the purely conceptual aspect of sound waves and to the mathematical treatment of the same topic
The Science of Sound: Physics of Vibrations and Waves To understand the science of sound is to unlock one of nature’s most fundamental communication tools—a phenomenon born of vibrations, shaped by waves, and governed by the intricate laws of physics
Sound waves (video) - Khan Academy Sound waves require a matter medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through, and cannot travel through vacuum The amplitude of a sound wave corresponds to its loudness The frequency of a sound wave corresponds to its pitch The speed of a sound wave depends on the medium its traveling through
