Propagation Of Sound Waves

 If you are playing hide and seek game and your friend who happens to be blindfolded catches you and your friends, then how does your friend catch the person who is closest to him/her? How did he/she hear the sound? Lets us see how does sound propagate. Let us learn about the propagation of sound in detail.

Production of Sound

In order to study the production of sound, a tuning fork is required for it. When the tuning fork is struck, there is a vibration of the prongs of the fork. Each time the prong vibrates it is found that a new sound wave is produced. When it comes to the movement of the speed of sound waves, it should be noted that it depends on the medium by which the sound waves travel. When there is a striking of the tuning fork, you can get to hear the sound. So the sound has been produced by striking the tuning forks. The sound produced in humans is due to the vocal cords.
