  2. Acoustic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_wave

    An acoustic wave is a mechanical wave that transmits energy through the movements of atoms and molecules. Acoustic waves transmit through fluids in a longitudinal manner (movement of particles are parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave); in contrast to electromagnetic waves that transmit in transverse manner (movement of particles at a right angle to the direction of propagation ...

  3. Soundwave (app) - Wikipedia

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

    Soundwave is a data collection company founded in 2012. It collected data on the music users listened to and their location in real-time. Users could subscribe to groups and locations to view and listen to relevant and trending songs.

    Must be a defining trait – Characters with access to vast powers (such as magical spells, advanced technology and genetic engineering) who are theoretically capable of this superhuman feature or ability – but who have neither made regular use nor provided a notable example of this extraordinary or supernatural feat – are not listed here.

  5. Nonlinear acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_acoustics

    Nonlinear acoustics (NLA) is a branch of physics and acoustics dealing with sound waves of sufficiently large amplitudes. Large amplitudes require using full systems of governing equations of fluid dynamics (for sound waves in liquids and gases) and elasticity (for sound waves in solids).

  6. Rubens tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubens_tube

    Similar to its predecessor, the one dimensional Rubens tube, this standing wave is caused by a multitude of factors. Pressure variation caused by the inflow of propane gas interfering with the input of sound waves into the plane causes changes in the height and color of the flames. The 2D Rubens tube was made famous by a Danish science ...

  9. Acoustical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustical_engineering

    Refraction is the bending of sound waves caused by changes in the medium through which the wave is passing. For example, temperature gradients can cause sound wave refraction. [ 27 ] Acoustical engineers apply these fundamental concepts, along with mathematical analysis, to control sound for a variety of applications.
