How sound waves behave: absorption transmission reflection

Longitudinal waves cause particles in a medium to move parallel to the wave's direction. Sound waves are longitudinal waves that travel through matter, including solids, liquids, and gases. They involve compressions (where particles are close together) and rarefactions (where particles are far apart), influencing pitch, frequency, and amplitude. Sound waves can be transmitted, absorbed, reflected (creating echoes), and diffracted. Understanding these concepts helps control sound and design environments.
