Analysing Sound<\/a> Waves<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Sounds are mechanical waves. They are caused by vibrating objects. The string of a guitar, the skin of a drum and a tuning fork, all of these vibrate to produce sound.

  2. The vibrating cone of a loudspeaker in Figure produces sound. Its vibrating diaphragm is continually compressing and stretching the air next to it. This makes a series of compressions and rarefactions which travel through the air away from the loudspeaker.<\/li>\n
  3. A compression is a region of increased pressure and a rarefaction is a region of decreased pressure. The resulting succession of compressions<\/strong> and rarefactions<\/strong> constitutes the sound waves.

  4. A sound wave is longitudinal<\/strong> in nature because the air molecules vibrate in the direction which is parallel to its direction of propagation.<\/li>\n
  5. A sound wave needs a medium<\/strong> for its propagation because its propagation is essentially due to the vibration of the molecules of its medium.<\/li>\n
  6. Compressions and rarefactions need a material which can be compressed and stretched. This explains why we do not hear any sound in space which mainly consists of a vacuum.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
