Introduction to Sound Production

A kind of wave that is an oscillation of matter and is responsible for the transfer of energy through a medium.

• Sound Wave

• Mechanical Wave

• Pressure Wave

• Acoustical Wave

The movement of the particles is parallel to the motion of the energy.

• Acoustical Wave

• Transverse Wave

• Longitudinal Wave

• Mechanical Wave

The movement of the particles is at right angles or perpendicular to the motion of the energy.

• Longitudinal Wave

• Acoustical Wave

• Sound Wave

• Transverse Wave

The sensation perceived by the sense of hearing.
