Explore Sound Waves

Discover the fascinating world of sound waves through interactive demonstrations.

Sound is a form of energy that travels through different mediums as waves. Let's explore how these waves behave and what makes them unique.

🎵

Sound waves are vibrations that travel through air, water, or solids!

Wave Energy

🌊

Like ripples in water, sound waves spread out in all directions!

Wave Motion

🎯

Our ears detect these waves and our brain interprets them as sound!

Wavelength

Controls Wave Size

Amplitude controls the loudness of a sound wave. Explore how changing amplitude affects the wave and the sound you hear.

Adjust Amplitude:

Amplitude is the height of a wave from its resting position. In sound waves, amplitude determines the volume or loudness of the sound.

Frequency determines the pitch of a sound. Explore how changing frequency affects the wave and the sound you hear.

Adjust Frequency:

Frequency is the number of complete wave cycles that occur in one second. It determines the pitch of the sound.

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase. Explore how changing wavelength affects the wave and the sound you hear.

Adjust Wavelength:

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase.

Speed of sound varies in different mediums. Compare how fast sound travels in air, water, and steel.

🌊

Sound travels over 4x faster in water than in air!

1,480 m/s

💨

This is the speed you hear thunder after lightning!

343 m/s

⚡

Sound travels fastest in solids like steel!

5,960 m/s
