Do you know about the Sound Waves? Sound Waves are one of the most important topics in physics. According to physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave, through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid, or solid. But in human physiology and psychology, sound is a vibration that travels through the air that can be heard when it gets to the ear. Do you think you have a proper understanding of sound waves? If you think so, then take this quiz and see how well you know about Sound Waves Quiz.
