Properties of sound

A sound wave is a mechanical wave (or mechanical vibration) that transit through media such as gas (air), liquid (water), and solid (wood).

Quality Of Sound

A sound or a sound wave is defined as the energy produced due to the vibrations of particles in a medium. When any medium produces a disturbance or vibrations, it causes a movement in the air particles which produces sound waves. Molecules in the air vibrate about a certain average position and create compressions and rarefactions. This is called pitch which is defined as the frequency of sound. The frequency is defined as the number of oscillations in pressure per second.

Categories of Sound Wave

People perceive sound in different ways, like a medico student takes sound as vibration produced by objects reaching the human eardrum. A physicist perceives sound as vibration produced by an object, which produces disturbances in nearby air molecules that travel further. Both of them describe it as vibration generated by an object, the difference is one talks about how it is received and other deals with how it travels and propagates across various mediums.

Question

**Illustration Description:**

The image illustrates an experimental setup involving a glass tube, a piston, and cork particles. The system is used to demonstrate standing waves and resonance.

**Components:**

1. **Piston:**
- Located on the left side of the glass tube.
- Connected to a sound source that vibrates at a frequency of 400 Hz.

2. **Glass Tube:**
- Positioned horizontally and measures 123 cm in length.
- Contains the moving piston on one end and is open at the other end.

3. **Piles of Cork Particles:**
- Distributed along the length of the glass tube.
- Indicate positions of the antinodes where the air displacement is maximum.

**Functionality:**

- The piston generates sound waves that travel through the air in the glass tube.
- These sound waves reflect back and forth, creating standing waves.
- The cork particles accumulate at positions of antinodes due to the larger air movement at these points.

This setup visually demonstrates the concept of resonance and the formation of standing waves within a closed environment. It is especially useful for educational purposes in physics to illustrate wave behavior in a controlled experiment.

A long glass tube, known today as a Kundt's tube, has a vibrating piston at one end and is closed at the other. Very finely ground particles of cork are sprinkled in the bottom of the tube before the piston is inserted.
