Discussion: Waves and Sound

Instructor’s choice:

Describe in your own terms the resonance. Give at least two examples
Give two examples which will demonstrate that the speed of sound depends on the density of the particles of the medium.

Or you may decide which topics to discuss, as long as they are germane to the topics covered in this module.

Consider the following as good topics for discussion:

How does this module’s content relate to your professional career? Personal life?
How does this module’s content relate to current events?
What were your “Aha!” moments as you worked through the material?
Did you explore a topic only covered briefly or lightly in the course materials? What did you discover?
What concepts (learning objectives) did you struggle with? What resources helped you overcome this hurdle?

Sound waves are longitudinal. They promulgate in gases, liquids and solids. Every object has a natural frequency. Sound waves in the air travel through the motions as periodic variations. For instance, in a musical instrument that is bound to produce sound, it is forced into vibrating at one of its harmonics (Resonance, 2018). It is known as resonance. Hence, by my understanding, resonance is when one object vibrates at the same frequency naturally thus forcing another second object into vibration motion.
