Chapter 16, Problem 5TYR
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The sound is an audible wave that is generated from vibration of air molecules. The sound waves are transmitted through solids, air, water, and not vacuum surfaces. This sound is mainly produced from the vibrant objects such as a loudspeaker, fork, or from vocal cords.
The physical properties of sound are characterized based on the vibration of the air molecules that collide with each other and form the sound energy that reaches the eardrum with sound sensation.
