Sound waves can reflect off surfaces ... the auditory nerve our brain interprets these signals as sound Trace 1. small amplitude, low frequency → a quiet, low pitch sound.

The content discusses the fundamentals of acoustics, focusing on sound refraction, the anatomy of the ear, and how sound ...

Thousands of marine species from microscopic zooplankton to the largest cetaceans rely on sound for survival and many have evolved unique oral and aural adaptations. Understanding them better could ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have managed to make sound waves travel only in one direction. In the future, this method could also be used in technical applications with electromagnetic waves.

Using an air vortex cannon to focus the sound waves from the bass reflex port, it ‘wiggles’ the flame out in a matter of seconds, as illustrated with a thermal camera. Compared to the much ...

So-called Rayleigh–Bloch waves can release an enormous amount of energy that can damage technical systems under certain circumstances. They only exist below a precisely defined cut-off frequency ...
