Propagation time of any pulse is roughly the time needed for the leading edge of the pulse to travel from one point to another. It will be more accurate to say that the pulse is registered at a given point when its leading edge reaches half of the maximum value (amplitude) of the pulse. The propagation time of a sound pulse is equal to the distance between the measuring points divided to the sound velocity in the medium in which it propagates.

What is the propagation time of a sound?
Propagation time of any pulse is roughly the time needed for the leading edge of the pulse to travel from one point to another. It will be more accurate to say that the pulse is registered at a given point when its leading edge reaches half of the maximum value (amplitude) of the pulse. The propagation time of a sound pulse is equal to the distance between the measuring points divided to the sound velocity in the medium in which it propagates.
Why is a wave pulse traveling on a string considered a transverse wave?
Because the media displacement (up & down movement of the string) is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Sound waves are longitudinal waves because the medi displacement is back & forth, which is parallel to the wave propagation.
What do you mean by propagation of sound?
Propagation of sound in a medium (like the atmosphere) is the collision between the medium particles driven by a vibrating object
What is the study of production and propagation of sound?
Acoustics.
What it sound propagation?
Sound is a sequence of waves of pressure which propagates through compressible media such as air or water. (Sound can propagate through solids as well, but there are additional modes of propagation). During their propagation, waves can be reflected, refracted, or attenuated by the medium. The purpose of this experiment is to examine what effect the characteristics of the medium have on sound.
What is the motion of light or sound wave called?
Propagation.
What is the study of the propagation and production of sound waves?
Acoustics.
How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?
Frequency and speed of propagation of the wave are independent of one another. The medium determines the speed of propagation.
Which is the meaning of propagation?
The act of propagating; continuance or multiplication of the kind by generation or successive production; as, the propagation of animals or plants., The spreading abroad, or extension, of anything; diffusion; dissemination; as, the propagation of sound; the propagation of the gospel.
What is the type of waves of the propagation of sound in air- Longtudinal or Transversal?
The type of waves for the propagation of sound in air is longitudinal. Longitudinal waves are characterized by the vibration of particles in the same direction as the wave's propagation. In the case of sound waves, air molecules move back and forth in the direction of the sound wave as it travels through the air.
How does pressure affect sound wave propagation?
Only the temperature is changing the speed of sound.
What is a three-dimensional sound called?
Sound! It normally mode of propagation IS in three dimensions.
