The distance that is formed from the covering of the two of these continuous troughs or peaks'' is known as the wavelength of the particular wave. Sound waves form several peaks and valleys that are continuous in nature. It is to be noted that without the presence of any medium, the propagation of sound waves is not possible.

This is because the vibration of the molecules of the sound waves tends to force into the molecules that are in close vicinity and thereby these particles of sound waves propagate through the respective medium (Bohlen et al. While conducting such vibrations, the sound waves lead to vibrations of other molecules of air present within their surroundings.

Sound waves can be referred to as the kind of energy that is generated through the notion of vibrations. However, it needs to be noted that during the propagation of the sound waves, the waves get reflected, refracted and as well as attenuated by the respective medium. In the field of entertainment too, sounds are used in cassettes, radio and many more. These devices are useful in conducting effective communications. Sound waves are applied in several areas, such as in navigation, tracking of ships, and aircraft with the help of sonar, a device for detecting sound waves. Sound waves are essential to human life, as they are vital in countless aspects of life, such as they are primarily in the dissemination of information.
