Study Notes

Overview of Sound

Sound is a type of mechanical wave produced by vibrations in a medium.
It travels through various materials, such as air, water, and solids.

Propagation of Sound Waves

Pressure waves generated by sound can travel through gases, liquids, and solids.
Each medium affects the speed and quality of sound due to differences in density and elasticity.

Interaction with the Ear

When pressure waves reach the ears, they cause the eardrum to vibrate.
These vibrations are converted into nerve signals transmitted to the brain, where sound is interpreted.

Source of Sound

Any object that creates vibrations that produce sound waves is referred to as a sound source.
Common examples include musical instruments, vocal cords, and machinery.

Audible Sound for Humans

Humans can typically hear sounds in the frequency range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (20 kHz).
Frequencies below 20 Hz are classified as infrasound, while those above 20 kHz are considered ultrasound, both of which are inaudible to humans.
