The Science of Sound Waves
Sound waves are vibrations that travel through air, water, or solid materials, allowing us to hear and communicate. These waves vary in frequency and amplitude, determining pitch and volume. High-frequency sounds are perceived as high-pitched, while low-frequency waves produce deep tones. Sound travels faster in denser materials, making it move more quickly through water than air. Technologies like sonar use sound waves to map ocean floors and detect objects underwater. Musical instruments ma...
