Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on learning about sound energy, specifically seeking resources and guidance for understanding the basics of sound. Participants express varying levels of familiarity with the topic and the effectiveness of different learning materials.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a general interest in learning about sound and requests websites for information.
  • Another participant humorously suggests simply increasing the volume as a way to engage with sound.
  • A third participant advises that more specific questions would yield better responses and encourages the original poster to clarify their interests and previous resources consulted.

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.
