You probably know that the sound you hear is the result of sound waves. But what are sound waves, exactly? What are their characteristics? And how do they work? What is a Sound Wave? A sound wave is caused by energy that moves through air, water or other materials as tiny vibrations....
Longitudinal Waves:A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the ‘same direction’ in which the wave is moving. Medium can be solid, liquid or gases. Therefore, sound waves are longitudinal waves. Transverse Waves:A wave in which the particles of the medium vib...
The most basic characteristics of a sound wave are pitch, loudness and tone. A sound wave’s frequency is experienced as the wave’s pitch. The amplitude determines loudness or volume. The tone of a sound wave can be recognized by the regularity of its vibration. ...
