- Air particles are displaced from their rest positions.
2
New cards
What role do elastic forces play in sound propagation?
- Elastic forces try to pull the displaced particles back to their original positions.
3
New cards
Why do air particles overshoot their original positions during sound propagation?
- Due to inertia, the particles overshoot before being pulled back.
4
New cards
What creates oscillations in the air during sound propagation?
- The back-and-forth motion of air particles creates oscillations.
