  2. Sound energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_energy

    However, this range is an average and will slightly change from individual to individual. Sound waves that have frequencies below 16 Hz are called infrasoniciis and those above 20 kHz are called ultrasonic. Sound is a mechanical wave and as such consists physically in oscillatory elastic compression and in oscillatory displacement of a fluid.

  3. Sound amplification by stimulated emission of radiation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_amplification_by...

    The conversion between real space and k-space is a mathematical transformation called the Fourier transform and thus k-space can be also called Fourier space. We note that, the difference in energy of the photon lasing levels has to be at least smaller than the Debye energy in the semiconductor.

  4. Soundwave (Transformers) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundwave_(Transformers)

    It was not much later that the surviving Megatron made contact with Soundwave from space, and Soundwave was all too willing to return to his service, setting up Starscream to fall before Megatron when he returned. And return, Megatron did— but the bankruptcy and subsequent closure of Dreamwave' left the rest of the story untold.

  5. Sound power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_power

    Sound power or acoustic power is the rate at which sound energy is emitted, reflected, transmitted or received, per unit time. [1] It is defined [2] as "through a surface, the product of the sound pressure, and the component of the particle velocity, at a point on the surface in the direction normal to the surface, integrated over that surface."

  6. Ion acoustic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_acoustic_wave

    In plasma physics, an ion acoustic wave is one type of longitudinal oscillation of the ions and electrons in a plasma, much like acoustic waves traveling in neutral gas. . However, because the waves propagate through positively charged ions, ion acoustic waves can interact with their electromagnetic fields, as well as simple col

  7. Sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

    Sound waves may be viewed using parabolic mirrors and objects that produce sound. [9] The energy carried by an oscillating sound wave converts back and forth between the potential energy of the extra compression (in case of longitudinal waves) or lateral displacement strain (in case of transverse waves) of the matter, and the kinetic energy of ...

  8. NASA offers explanation for bizarre 'trumpet noise' phenomena

    Now NASA is stepping in to provide some insight into what could actually be causing this scary pattern. NASA scientists believe the ominous noises could potentially be the "background noise" of ...

  9. Speed of sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound

    In theory, the speed of sound is actually the speed of vibrations. Sound waves in solids are composed of compression waves (just as in gases and liquids) and a different type of sound wave called a shear wave, which occurs only in solids. Shear waves in solids usually travel at different speeds than compression waves, as exhibited in seismology.
