A sound wave is created in the air when a vibrating object causes surrounding air particles to oscillate, generating alternating compressions and rarefactions that propagate through the medium, transmitting the sound.
A sound wave is created in the air when a vibrating object causes surrounding air particles to oscillate, generating alternating compressions and rarefactions that propagate through the medium, transmitting the sound.
When the vibrating object moves backward, it creates a region of rarefaction where air particles are spread apart, resulting in lower pressure. This follows the compression phase and contributes to the sound wave's propagation.
