sound theory

Sound theory explains how sound travels through a medium, like air or water, as vibration waves. When an object vibrates, it creates pressure waves that spread out. These waves reach our ears, where they are converted into electrical signals sent to the brain, allowing us to perceive sound. The properties of sound—such as pitch, volume, and tone—depend on the frequency and amplitude of these vibrations. Sound theory helps us understand phenomena like resonance, how different materials affect sound, and how devices like microphones and speakers work to capture or produce sound accurately.
