Sadie Broadway Speed of Sound In Air We are studying the speed of sound in air currently in our physics class. The speed of sound is the distance traveled by a sound wave through an elastic medium during a period of time. The speed of sound is extremely interesting‚ as it’s actually the speed of transmission of a small disturbance through a medium. The speed of sound occurs constantly‚ whenever a sound is heard. It’s everywhere‚ and in air we are discovering certain factors like altitude and air

which different frequencies are analyzed with different resolutions. A wave is an oscillating function of time or space and is periodic. In contrast‚ wavelets are localized waves. They have their energy concentrated in time or space and are suited to analysis of transient signals. While Fourier Transform and STFT use waves to analyze signals‚ the Wavelet Transform uses wavelets of finite energy.
