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
