Producing sound waves Displacement 1.4 Sound Density Pressure Producing sound waves Speed of sound Energy and Intensity Spherical and Plane waves. Interference of sound waves •Produced by compression and rarefaction of media (air) •Sound waves are longitudinal resulting in displacement in the direction of propagation. • The displacements result in oscillations in density and pressure.
