An opera singer sings a musical note that causes the glass to vibrate at its natural frequency resulting in higher energy and ultimately breaking the glass. This phenomenon is known as wave rarefaction refraction resonance

Q: When sound passes through a doorway, it spreads out much more on the other side than light would.…

A: We know that the more the wave deflects from objects in the room, the more it will spread in it. we…

Shock Waves

Shock waves are common in continuum mechanics, and their dominance is attributable to the fact that they are stronger (or even less) compressible. Substantial perturbations propagated as sudden dynamic changes of a compressible medium supersonically. Shock waves are all around us in our daily lives. Lightning, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and meteorite impact all produce them in nature. Even the earth, which is protected by its magnetic field, generates a shock wave as in solar wind that travels around 20 Earth radiuses. These shock waves might be either constant, linked to the body, or unsteady, i.e., moving around with time. All of the shocks mentioned above can be damaging, so precautions must be taken to reduce their impact.
