Solution

Definition

  1. A sound would be a vibration that proceeds throughout the manner of a mechanical wave through a substrate in such a longitudinal dimension.
  2. The wave height, wavelength, as well as wave speed, may all be used to calculate amplitude, pitch, as well as sound frequency.

Example: Voices

How it is produced

  1. A vibrating body generates sound. The vibrating body induces the medium or channel surrounding it (water, air, and so on.) to vibrate, resulting in generating sound.
  2. Sound travels the quickest in solids, the slowest in liquids, as well as the slowest in gases.

Therefore, the sensation perceived by the sense of hearing is called sound.
