Characteristics of Sound Waves
Content
– Transmission of sound
– Types of sound waves
– Characteristics of sound waves
Description
There are mainly three characteristics in sound waves; pitch, intensity and quality.
Viscosity
Content
– Defining viscosity
– Newton’s formula
– Variation of viscosity with temperature
– Poiseuille’s formula
Description
Viscosity is a measure of a fluids resistance to flow. When fluids moves slowly, its flow is orderly. If every fluids passing through a gives point follows the same line of the flow it is named as Laminar flow or stedy flow.
Standing Waves
Content
– Waves
– Super position
– Introduction about standing waves
– Conditions that applied for standing waves
Description
Wave is a method of transmitting energy by means of large number of oscillations. Oscillations maybe mechanical or electromagnatic.

Description
The general properties of sound waves are reflection, echo, refraction and diffraction.Also the properties based on superposition of waves are interference, beats and resonance.
