1. Sound Waves

   Linked via "particle displacement"

   A sound wave is a mechanical wave that propagates through a medium via the transmission of vibrations. These waves consist of periodic compressions and rarefactions of the medium's constituent particles, characterized mathematically by variations in pressure, particle displacement, or particle velocity relative to a fixed [equilibrium state](/…
