Sound Produced Humans

A sound is a vibrational kind of energy which travels via air or any other medium. Vibration is defined as a rapid to-and-fro or up-and-down movement around a mean position. Vibrations travel through a medium like air to our ears, in which the brain converts them to sound. Humans can make a sound which starts in the

Sound noise music

Unpitched, ambiguous, uncontrolled, loud, unmusical, or unwelcome sound are all terms used to characterize noise in music. The human voice and all musical instruments, particularly unpitched percussion instruments and electric guitars, include a significant amount of noise (using distortion). Electronic equipment produces a wide range of noise colors. Traditional noise applications are unconstrained, utilizing all

Sonication

Sonication is the process of using sound energy to agitate particles in a sample, which can be used to extract numerous chemicals from plants, microalgae, and seaweeds, among other things. Sound waves are used to stir particles in a solution using sonication. It also translates an electrical signal into physical vibrations that can disintegrate materials.

Reflection of Waves

What is the definition of the reflection of waves? When a wave strikes any interface that is a boundary between two mediums, it tends to bounce back with the change in direction. This phenomenon of waves is called the reflection of waves.  Reflection is a phenomenon of the medium. There could be numerous factors that

Propagation of Electromagnetic Waves in the Atmosphere

What are Waves? The movement of disturbance in a particular medium without the net movement of the particles is known as a wave. There are different types of waves with different characteristics, which are as follows. Types of waves Below are the types of waves that we encounter around us. It may be visible in

Proof of Reflection

Huygens was the one who contradicted Newton’s theory of light having a particle nature. He proposed that light has wave properties. The contradiction concluded by stating that light has both particle and wave nature. Huygens and Fresnel, together, put forth a principle describing the movement and formation of wavelets from the previously formed ones. Huygen’s

Progressive waves

A wave that travels continuously in the medium from one point to another in the same direction without any change in its amplitude is termed progressive. When the particles of a medium vibrate simply harmonically around their mean positions throughout the propagation of a wave through it, the wave is said to be a plane

Outcomes of Huygen’s Principle

Huygen’s principle is one of the most important and first noticeable theories to study light in depth. Huygens’s wave theory proved Newton’s theory of light incorrect. The theory states that light travels in the form of waves. So Hugyen gave it an imaginary medium to travel, which is known as ether. This is very low
