The Science of Sound: Waves, Speed, Echoes & Ultrasound Applications Explained
This PowerPoint explores sound waves, explaining how vibrations create longitudinal waves with compressions and rarefactions. It covers sound propagation through different media, the speed of sound in air, water, and solids, and how echoes are used in navigation. Key concepts like pitch, frequency, and loudness are visualized using oscilloscopes. The presentation also highlights applications of ultrasound in medical imaging, industrial cleaning, quality control, and SONAR, showing how sound waves contribute to technology and science.
