Everything around us is anchored to acoustics // curiosities

The life of man is interrelated from its inception with the environment, meticulously covering every detail that allows human evolution. Because of this, the need to recognize and understand every particle or matter that is observed and heard thanks to the human senses (hearing, sight, taste, smell and touch) has been awakened in man. But our environment has aroused in us curiosities of greater complexity such as recognizing why a body is held at a point or that causes the fall of an object ?, these and other questions have been part of scientific discoveries that are observed by the students of physics.

Now, physics has benefited humanity with the discoveries made; but what would happen if at this moment I would point out that physics has covered situations that we constantly detect, one of which is sound, when we apply the sense of hearing we are immersed in the operation of sonaras waves that travel in the form of vibration in all addresses; This study is called acoustics, it is a branch of physics responsible for studying the mechanical waves that propagate through matter, since they can not propagate in space. That is, it studies the vibrations of mechanical waves, which are generated in the air at a surprising speed.

Initially it was believed that sound existed because of the need to communicate of man, but it was not until the beginnings of civilization that a student of philosophy and mathematics was interested in recognizing the nature of the pauses that were generated by the instruments musicals, of which a melody was perceived; However, it was not for scientists like Aristotle that one arrives at supreme conclusions that the vibrations travel in the air falling on the next air and generating waves.

Acoustics is applied in our daily environment without observing what happens, for example when we throw a stone in the water we are generating waves of vibrations, since the layers of water and air do not break but give entrance to another layer causing waves sounds that produce acoustics. Likewise, if a building or house is being built, acoustics are measured, that is, the sound vibration that exists in the place; as well as the capacity or resistance that a concrete has for the total execution of the project.

Focus, the acoustics in the daily life of a musician, the tuning of the musical scales is made, we are simply detecting the appropriate vibration for the sound waves that we will emit, as well as the qualities of the sound that we will transmit.

Now you understand because I tell you that everything around us is anchored to acoustics, because, our daily progress involves sonaras vibrations (with different intensities) for the realization of our daily activities.
