Traveling Sound Waves Part 2

Part of the Series: Physics 2 Tutor (Thermodynamics, Oscillations & Waves)

This program covers the important topic of traveling sound waves (part 2) in Physics. We begin by discussing how sound waves propagate through the air and other mediums. We discuss the mathematical form of the compression wave and discuss the speed of sound, frequency, and more. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis is placed on giving students confidence in their skills by gradual repetition so that the skills learned in this section are committed to long term memory.
