This page ventures into the real-world applications of wave properties associated with the physics of sound. It provides information about ultrasound and how it is used in sonar and echolocation, diffraction horns, noise cancellation, and harmonic synthesis. Especially engaging is the interactive wave applet that allows users to create their own sound waves or listen to predefined waveforms. Users may wish to augment the section on harmonic synthesis with additional background information to aid in comprehension. This item is part of a larger collection on the physics of sound for high school and middle school classrooms.
This resource is part of a Physics Front Topical Unit.
