    Physics of Sound & Sound Waves

    The Physics of Sound involves the study of how sound waves propagate through various media, creating vibrations that can be perceived by the human ear. Sound waves are longitudinal waves characterized by compressions and rarefactions, traveling at different speeds depending on the material. Key properties include frequency, wavelength, amplitude, and velocity, which determine pitch, loudness, and sound quality.
