Understanding Sound Propagation and the Mechanics of Human Hearing
This lecture video explains how sound waves propagate, transfer from air to a solid, and how the human ear works. The video then explains how sound waves interact with solids, including reflection, absorption, and transmission. The video...

The Hot Chocolate Effect
How does the hot chocolate effect work? The weird pitch frequency coming for your coffee. The speed of sound changes when water and a powder mixes. Air is created and slowly fly out of the system but air changes the bulk modulus and...
