SOUND WAVE 
LECTURE NOTES 
 
Sound is a type of wave that happens when something vibrates, like a guitar string, vocal 
cords, or a tuning fork. These vibrations create waves that move through stuff like air, 
water, or metal. How fast travels sound depends on what it's moving through. When 
sound travels through air, the air wiggles back and forth, changing how packed together 
it is and how much pressure there is. If the thing making the sound vibrates smoothly, 
the changes in pressure also happen smoothly. When we describe these smooth sound 
waves with math, it's a lot like how we describe waves in a vibrating string. 
PRESSURE (FLUCTUATION) WAVES 
 
When a sound wave travels through something, like air or water, the particles in that 
stuff move back and forth. We can talk about this movement in two ways. One way is by 
looking at how much the particles move from their normal spot. We call this the 
displacement wave. The other way is by checking how much the pressure changes 
because of the squeezing and stretching the wave causes. We call this the pressure wave. 
Let's imagine a sound wave traveling in the x-direction through a medium. At a certain 
time, t, let's say a particle at the spot where nothing's happening, x, moves a distance, y, 
in the x-direction because of the wave. The displacement wave then will be described by
