Longitudinal Wave (Classic)


Speaking (or screaming!) compresses a region of air in the throat that subsequently travels through the atmosphere. Compress air and observe how the wave (displaced air) travels through the atmosphere, the decay of amplitude over time, the cause of an echo, and how a standing wave can be created.
