PROPAGATION OF SOUND AND FACTORS AFFECTING IT 2.0 PROPAGATION OF SOUND Propagation of sound is the Transmission of Acoustic Energy through a medium via a sound wave. Sound is a sequence of waves of pressure, which propagates through compressible media such as air or water or solid. During their propagation, waves can be reflected,

Piano keys produce notes that increase in pitch from the left side of the keyboard to the right. We can hear sounds of different pitches, but there are some sounds we cannot hear. Our ears cannot detect very low-pitched noises, known as infrasound, or very high-pitched noises, called ULTRASOUND.
For people interested in music, pitch is how high or how low a sound is. Pitch is changed by varying the frequency of the sound waves. As the frequency increases, so does the â¦ pitch. In a sound wave, there are parts of the wave, the crest(top of wave), and the trough(bottom of the wave).
