How does sound travel from the musical device to the heaphones through the wire? I'm trying to understand the process the music/sound goes through along the wire to the headphones.
Thanks!
Thanks!

chroot said:The sound is represented by a changing voltage on the wire. If the sound is middle A, for example, the voltage on the wire will be changing sinusoidally, with a frequency of 440 Hz. The loudness of the sound is represented by the amplitude of waveform.

The sound travels through the musical device in the form of electrical signals. These signals are created when sound waves from the source, such as a speaker or instrument, vibrate a diaphragm or membrane inside the device.
The sound signals are then amplified and processed by circuitry inside the device before being sent to the output, typically a headphone jack or speaker.
Headphones have a built-in transducer, such as a dynamic driver or balanced armature, that converts the electrical signals back into sound waves. These sound waves are then directed into the ear canal by the ear cups of the headphones.
The quality of sound transmitted through headphones is affected by various factors such as the type and quality of the transducers, the design and materials of the headphones, and the quality of the audio signal being sent from the source device.
Yes, sound can travel wirelessly from a musical device to headphones through technologies such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. In this case, the electrical signals are converted to radio waves and transmitted to the headphones, where they are converted back to sound waves.
