Introduction
In this work Im supposted to show you 3
different things that you already know and
that you need for your diary life.









Sound
Sound is a vibration that propagates as a
mechanical wave of pressure and
displacement, through some medium (such
as air or water). Sometimes sound refers to
only those vibrations with frequencies that
are within the range of hearing for humans
or for a particular animal.
Acoustics is the interdisciplinary science that
deals with the study of all mechanical waves
in gases, liquids, and solids including
vibration, sound, ultrasound and infrasound.
A scientist who works in the field of acoustics
is an acoustician while someone working in
the field of acoustical engineering may be
called an acoustical engineer. The
application of acoustics can be seen in
almost all aspects of modern society, sub
disciplines include: aero acoustics, audio
signal processing, architectural acoustics,
bioacoustics, electro acoustics,
environmental noise, musical acoustics,
noise control, psychoacoustics, speech,
ultrasound, underwater acoustics and
vibration.
Sound propagates through compressible
media such as air, water and solids as
longitudinal waves and also as a transverse
waves in solids .The sound waves are
generated by a sound source, such as the
vibrating diaphragm of a stereo speaker.

Light
Visible light (commonly referred to simply as
light) is electromagnetic radiation that is
visible to the human eye, and is responsible
for the sense of sight. Visible light is usually
defined as having a wavelength in the range
of 400 nanometres (nm), or 400109 m, to
700 nanometres between the infrared,
with longer wavelengths and the ultraviolet,
with shorter wavelengths. These numbers do
not represent the absolute limits of human
vision, but the approximate range within
which most people can see reasonably well
under most circumstances. Various sources
define visible light as narrowly as 420 to 680
to as broadly as 380 to 800 nm. Under ideal
laboratory conditions, people can see
infrared up to at least 1050 nm,[8] children
and young adults ultraviolet down to about
310 to 313 nm.

Energy
moving it 1 metre against a force of 1
newton.
Work and heat are two categories of
processes or mechanisms that can transfer a
given amount of energy. The second law of
thermodynamics limits the amount of work
that can be performed by energy that is
obtained via a heating processsome
energy is always lost as waste heat. The
maximum amount that can go into work is
called the available energy. Systems such as
machines and living things often require
available energy, not just any energy.
Mechanical and other forms of energy can
be transformed in the other direction into
thermal energy without such limitations.

There are many forms of energy, but all
these types must meet certain conditions
such as being convertible to other kinds of
energy, obeying conservation of energy, and
causing a proportional change in mass in
objects that possess it. Common energy
forms include the kinetic energy of a moving
object, the radiant energy carried by light
and other electromagnetic radiation, the
potential energy stored by virtue of the
position of an object in a force field such as a
gravitational, electric or magnetic field, and
the thermal energy comprising the
microscopic kinetic and potential energies of
the disordered motions of the particles
making up matter. Some specific forms of
potential energy include elastic energy due
to the stretching or deformation of solid
objects and chemical energy such as is
released when a fuel burns. Any object that
has mass when stationary, such as a piece of
ordinary matter, is said to have rest mass, or
an equivalent amount of energy whose form
is called rest energy, though this isn't
immediately apparent in everyday
phenomena described by classical physics.
