Weekly Blog Post - "Sound" (3|5|18 - 3|11|18)

Summary: During this week, I learned that sound travels 18 times faster through solids than through air. Another thing I learned was that when you hit a glass bottle filled with water, a solid sound is produced (meaning that is it not wispy, like a flute sound) because the object hit the glass, causing it to vibrate, which causes the water to vibrate, and the water causes the air to vibrate. The sound is sharp at first and then becomes quelled because it travels a little bit more slowly through the water and then even slower through the air.

SP1: Asking questions and defining problems. I asked questions such as, "How could one produce a sound that mirrors guitar strings?" and "How would you be able to tune an instrument to make it go back to its natural state-- would you push in to make it sharp/flat, or push out to make it sharp/flat?"
