The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE physics students who are studying sound waves, ultrasound and seismic waves. If you struggled with the quiz, don't panic - we've got you! You can ...

Sound is usually treated as the most familiar of physical phenomena, the background noise of daily life rather than a frontier of fundamental physics. Yet in laboratories around the world, carefully ...

In the guest blog, physicist Andrea Navarro-Quezada shows the importance of sound waves for our everyday life and research. Almost all of us know the concept of a wave. It is a periodic motion or ...

A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely and carries both rotation and orbital angular momentum ...

Sound and other waves usually propagate equally forwards and backwards. Researchers have now developed a method that prevents sound waves from travelling backwards without deteriorating their ...
