Question

What does happen to the phase of sound wave as it comes from water medium to air medium?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the case of a water wave in the ocean, the medium through which the wave travels is the ocean water. In the case of a sound wave moving from the church choir to the pews, the medium through which the sound wave travels is the air in the room.

Answer 2

Answer:

The phase is a crucial aspect of a sound wave.

Explanation:

• A repeated waveform's phase describes the position or timing of a particular point within a wave cycle.
• In most cases, the relative phases of the signals are less important than the phase difference between sound waves.
• The combined wave is considered to have a phase shift when it combines two sound waves with the same frequency but different starting points.
• Depending on the extent of the phase difference, the new wave will either have an increased or decreased amplitude while maintaining the same frequency as the original wave.
• There is no phase change after reflection when sound waves in the air (pressure waves) hit a hard surface.

The phase changes as the wave travels across different media.
