Sound: Interactions of Sound Waves

The video tutorial explores how sound waves interact through diffraction, refraction, and interference. Diffraction allows sound to bend around objects, enabling us to hear sounds from unseen sources. Refraction occurs when sound waves change direction due to variations in medium density or temperature. Interference involves the combination of sound waves, which can be constructive, increasing sound intensity, or destructive, decreasing it.
