  • Sound is a wave which is created by vibrating objects and is propagated through a medium from one location to another
  • Soundwave has a medium which carries the disturbance from one location to another
  • there is an original source of the soundwave, some vibrating objects are capable of disturbing the first particle of the medium
  • The soundwave is transported from on location to another by particle interaction
  • A soundwave is a longitudinal wave and mechanical wave
  • Sound is a pressure wave and moves through dense objects quicker
  • The speed of sound is greater in solids and liquid than in gases
  • Sound needs particles to collide to travel; therefore, it cannot travel in a vacuum
  • There are regions of soundwaves which are compressions(high) and rarefactions (low)
  • Particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction, which the sound moves
