    Dimensions Sound
AI Thread Summary
Sound can be understood across various dimensions, with each dimension representing different characteristics and behaviors of sound waves. In one-dimensional sound, waves propagate along a single line, while two-dimensional sound involves waves spreading out in a plane, allowing for more complex interactions. Three-dimensional sound encompasses spatial distribution, enabling the perception of direction and distance. Distinguishing these dimensions involves examining how sound waves travel, interact, and are perceived in different environments. Understanding these distinctions enhances the comprehension of sound's nature and its applications in various fields.

What is the nature of sound in each dimension e.d 1D, 2D, etc and how can one be differentiated from the other. I do not seek formulas just a straight forward explanation.

Thanks jedishrfu, I did stumble upon that article but what I require is someone to explain that to me. :)
 
Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'
Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...
Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
