so i was in my room listening to some music trying to think of what i should do for my physics journal. and then i realized, hey! there must be some physics in my speakers playing the music. I was very interested to see how it all worked so i went to my trusty text book to learn more about this concept of sound. Sound waves are longitudinal waves that move through a medium like air. I noticed that my speakers vibrate forward and backward. The speakers are actually causing the air or medium to compress and decompress. When the speaker comes forward the air compresses causing the particles to become closer together. This region is of higher pressure and is known as condensation. When the speaker diaphragm pulls back, is creates rarefraction, or an area with fewer particles and lower pressure.
