The Physics of Sound Waves

Sound is a type of energy created by vibrations. When an object vibrates, it causes air particles around
it to move, forming sound waves. These waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases.

The key properties of sound waves include frequency and amplitude. Frequency determines
pitch—how high or low a sound is. Amplitude determines volume—how loud or soft a sound is.

Sound technology has many applications. Ultrasound is used in medicine for imaging, sonar helps
submarines navigate, and acoustics engineering helps design theaters and recording studios. Sound
waves play a crucial role in our daily lives and technology.
