Why does a wall act as a low-pass filter?
Any type of force waveform f(t) applied to the wall surface can be represented by the sum (integral if f(t) is not a periodic function) of sinusoidal vibration forces with different frequencies. Sound …

Is it possible to "pull" sound waves using only an object?
Wave propagation is governed by wave equations which only needs the local characteristics of the propagation medium. This is partly explained by Huygen's Law. If you can control the local properties o …

Does the frequency of a vibrating substance like a string depend on its properties or simply...
Generation of musical tones on a string: One's hand plucking a string is just an instantaneous pulse which is applied to the string causing two separate waves propagating in both directions. Those wav …

Why is a single string's vibration very weak but on the other hand, a guitar's string can be...
A vibration on a string can theoretically be examined by the back and forth moving sound waves. The two reflecting boundary conditions capture some part of the vibration energy in the region which cau …
