Mechanical waves- audible, infrasonic, and ultrasonic, their main characteristics

Sound is a longitudinal wave, in which the particles oscillate to and fro in the same direction of wave propagation. Sound waves cannot be transmitted through vacuum. The transmission of sound requires at least a medium, which can be solid, liquid, or gas. Newton to derive a relation for the velocity of sound in a gaseous … Read more Mechanical waves- audible, infrasonic, and ultrasonic, their main characteristics
