What is sound? Sound is a wave‚ a pattern—simple or complex‚ depending on the sound—of changing air pressure. Sound is produced by vibrations of objects. The vibrations push and pull on air molecules. The pushes cause a local compression of the air (increase in pressure)‚ and the pulls cause a local rarefaction of the air (decrease in pressure). Since the air molecules are already in constant motion‚ the compressions and rarefactions starting at the original source are rapidly transmitted through

Journal Entry: Making Waves For this assignment you will need a rubber tube‚ a spring‚ or a rope. Tie one end to a fixed support and move it up and down to produce a wave. What type of wave are you producing? Describe it in terms of its motion relative to the direction of energy transport and in terms of whether it is electromagnetic or mechanical. Next‚ you will need a wide pan of water. Repeatedly dip your finger into the water to make a circular wave on the surface. What happens to the wavelength
