soundwave theory

Sound wave theory explains how sound travels through different environments as vibrations that create pressure changes in the air or other mediums. These vibrations produce wave patterns of compressions and rarefactions, which move outward from a source. When these waves reach our ears, they vibrate our eardrum, allowing our brain to interpret them as sound. The pitch of the sound depends on the frequency of the wave, while the volume relates to its amplitude. This understanding helps us analyze and control sound in various applications, from communication to acoustics.
