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 vib…

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 th…

Textbook Question

Chapter 11, Problem 8RQ

One end of a horizontal string of length L passes over a pulley with a block hanging at the end. A motor attached to the other end of the string exerts a constant horizontal force on the string. When the motor is turned on, it vibrates the end of the string up and down at frequencies that increase slowly from zero to a high frequency. What do you observe?
