Question

Describe the propoagation of sound waves

Answer 1

Sound Propagation. Sound propagates through air as a longitudinal wave. The speed of sound is determined by the properties of the air, and not by the frequency or amplitude of the sound. Sound waves, as well as most other types of waves, can be described in terms of the following basic wave phenomena.

Answer 2

Answer :

$\huge \red{sound}$

=> Sound is a form of energy which produces a sensation of hearing in our ears. it is a energy just like heat energy and light energy.

=> Sound is produced by the vibrating of objects.A substance or matter through which mechanical wave is transmitted is called medium Therefore medium is very necessary for producing of sound.

$\bold {\large{ \red{propagation \: of \: sound}}}$

=> In sound propagation, only the vibration propagates and the displacement of the particle of the medium remain zero.

=> It creates a region of low pressure it known as Rarefraction

=> Compression is a high pressure region where rarefraction is low
