Understanding Sound
Sound Intensity
Intensity (dependent on size): Distinguishes between strong and weak sounds. Physical intensity relates to the energy carried by the sound wave.
Auditory Intensity: This is the sensation perceived by our ears, and it depends on physical intensity and other factors.
Timbre
Timbre depends on the waveform. Physically, a sound's timbre depends on its wave composition.
Noise Sources
A sound source is any vibrating body that can produce elastic waves in the surrounding environment.
Properties of Sound
Reflection
Sound waves reflect when they encounter a hard surface.
Echo
An echo is the repetition of a sound due to its reflection.
Refraction
Refraction is the deviation of sound waves in air layers of different temperatures.... Continue reading "Understanding Sound and Wave Properties" »
