Sound Intensity
Graphs of the gauge pressures in two sound waves of different intensities. The more intense sound is produced by a source that has larger-amplitude
oscillations and has greater pressure maxima and minima. Because pressures are higher in the greater-intensity sound, it can exert larger forces on the
objects it encounters

Damping
The amplitude of a harmonic oscillator is a function of the frequency of the driving force. The curves represent the same oscillator with the same natural
frequency but with different amounts of damping. Resonance occurs when the driving frequency equals the natural frequency, and the greatest response
is for the least amount of damping. The narrowest response is also for the least amount of damping.

Sonar
Ships on the ocean make use of the reflecting properties of sound waves to determine the depth of the ocean. A sound wave is transmitted and bounces
off the seabed. Because the speed of sound is known and the time lapse between sending and receiving the sound can be measured, the distance from
the ship to the bottom of the ocean can be determined.
