Explain Superposition Principle
When two waves travel in a medium simultaneously in such a way that each wave represents its separate motion, then the resultant displacement at any…

Applications of Refraction of Sound
Refraction has many applications in optics and technology. A lens uses refraction to form an image of an object for many different purposes, such as…
What is Refraction of Sound
Refraction of sound or waves involves a change towards sound or waves as they pass in one medium to an additional. Refraction of the path…
Applications of Reflection of Sound Waves
Applications of reflection of sound waves (i) Whispering gallery: The famous whispering gallery at St. Paul’s Cathedral is a circular shaped chamber whose walls repeatedly…
What is Reflection of Sound?
The reflection of sound follows the law “angle of frequency equals angle of reflection”, it also called the law of reflection. Take two metal tubes…
Difference between Longitudinal and Transverse wave
Difference between longitudinal and transverse wave is: Longitudinal Wave When the motion the particles of the medium are parallel to the direction of propagation of…
Characteristics of Progressive Wave
A progressive wave is defined as the forward transmission of the vibratory motion of a body in an elastic intermediate from one element to the successive…
What is Progressive Wave?
A progressive wave is defined as the onward transmission of the vibratory motion of a body in an elastic medium from one particle to the…
Explain Laplace’s Correction
Sound travels in air as a longitudinal wave. The wave motion is, therefore, accompanied by compressions and rarefaction and At compressions, the temperature of the…
Newton’s formula for the Velocity of Sound Waves in Air
Newton assumed that sound waves travel through the air under isothermal conditions (i.e) temperature of the medium remains constant. According to Newton, when sound waves…
