The average kinetic energy of a particle is proportional to its temperature. The Gas Laws explain the relationships between pressure, volume, and temperature. Many gases behave as ideal gases at moderate temperatures and pressures. At low temperatures and high pressures deviations become very significant. The Nature of Waves Waves are very familiar phenomena.
All waves have one property in common and that is they transfer energy.
Sound waves bring music to our ears and light waves bring energy from the sun. There are two basic types of waves. They are called transverse waves and longitudinal waves. Sound Sound is produced by a vibrating source and is transmitted through a medium. The disturbances detected by our ears are propagated by wave motion.
