sound wave
A sound wave is a type of wave or perturbation that travels through a medium (such as air, liquid, or solid) by the means of compression and decompression. It is typically characterized by its frequency and amplitude, and is the primary method of transferring sound energy, such as speech or music. It is a form of mechanical wave that results from a vibrating source, causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transmitting energy from one point to another. Sound waves are also known as longitudinal waves because the medium's displacement is parallel to the direction of the wave.
