Wikify date September 2011 Sound particle In the context of particle displacement , particle velocity , etc., an imaginary infinitesimal volume of a medium that shares the movement of the medium in response to the presence of sound at a specified point or in a specified region. Sound particles are not molecules in the physical or chemical sense they do not have defined physical or chemical properties, or the temperature dependent kinetic behaviour of ordinary molecules. Sound particles are, then, indefinitely small small compared to the wavelength of sound so that their movement truly represents the movement of the medium in their locality. They exist in the mind s eye to enable this movement to be visualized and described quantitatively. Assuming the medium as a whole to be at rest, sound particles are imagined to vibrate about fixed points. References Haughton, P.M. 2002 Acoustics for Audiologists. Academic Press.
