  • Sound is a form of energy.
  • Sound travels as longitudinal waves.
    Three things
  • Three things are necessary for hearing sound.
  • Sound producing body
  • a)    Medium for traveling of sound 
  • b)    Receiving device
  • Longitudinal waves comprise of compression and rarefaction.
  • Human can hear in frequency range between 20Hz to 20,000Hz.
  • Sound can travel through solids, liquids and gases.
  • Sound cannot pass through vacuum.
  • The speed of sound in air at 00C is 332 m/s.
  • If the temperature is increase, the speed of sound increases.
  • The speed of sound at 200C is 344m/s.
  • The speed of sound in water is 1525 m/s.
  • The speed of sound in iron is 5130 m/s.
  • Back and forth movement of an object is called vibration.
