Best ways to learn about sound energy

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on seeking resources for learning about the basics of sound. The initial inquiry is met with advice to ask more specific questions to receive useful responses. Participants emphasize the importance of clarity in questions, suggesting that the learner should identify specific concepts they find confusing in their current resources. They recommend returning to the books for foundational understanding and pinpointing areas of difficulty before seeking further clarification in specialized forums. The conversation highlights the need for a structured approach to learning about sound, rather than expecting comprehensive lessons in a general discussion setting.

Physics news on Phys.org
Just crank it up to 11 and play.
 
Welcome to Physics Forums!

If you want to get useful responses, you need to ask more specific questions. What aspects of sound are you interested in? What books or web sites have you already looked at?

The best kind of question is something like "In <name of book or link to web site>, I read that <xxxx>, but I don't understand it because <yyyyy>. Can someone clarify it for me?"
 
i actually want to learn about the basics of sound .i have referred to some books .it was not convincing and did not help . i think that online learning could help me .so please i need some websites to learn about the basics of sound.

You can't expect to be given whole lessons on a public forum such as this, especially on such a vague description of what you don't understand.

Go back to your books. Start from the beginning. Now where exactly did you stop understanding what those books were trying to say? Be specific!

Once you found the specific part that you don't understand, please post in the physics subforums of PF.

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
