Sound wave is a wave produced through a disturbance, from disturbance it means making the molecules vibrate.
How it works
When we hit a metal rod on a metal sheet, we will hear a high pitched voice, right? Well how that sound reaches our ears is through the air.
Waves like sound need a medium to travel through, but electromagnetic waves don't require a medium to travel. Medium is a place or material through which a wave travels.
Sound waves travel by oscillating through air.
Is sound transverse or longitudinal
Does the air molecule travel to you ear ?
Can sound waves generate heat?
Can wind travel faster than speed of sound?
Does sound travel faster in space?
How does sound going slower in water make it hard to talk to someone underwater?
SI unit of sound?
Are sound waves electromagnetic or transverse ?
How fast is sound and why it has a speed limit?
