Major players in the drama of 19th-century Texas were definitely the Comanches who at this time swept down from the cool highlands of the southern Rockies, and, mounted on horses, drove other tribes from West Texas.
What is SOUND? The periodic mechanical vibrations and waves in gases, liquids and solid elastic media. Specifically the sensation felt when the eardrum is acted upon by air vibrations within a limited frequency range, ie 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Sound of a frequency below 20 Hz is called infra. STRUCTURE-BORNE SOUND.
Sound is a mechanical wave that results from the back and forth vibration of the particles of the medium through which the sound wave is moving. If a sound wave is moving from left to right through air, then particles of air will be displaced both rightward and leftward as the energy of the sound wave passes through it. The motion of the particles is parallel (and anti-parallel) to the direction of the energy transport. This is what characterizes sound waves in air as longitudinal waves.
