It is something common to all waves: when the sound wave reaches an opening or an obstacle, the points of its plane become sources and emit other diffracted ones. Men’s voices have a lower pitch so the sound wave will have a lower frequency, with fewer cycles displayed on the screen. The sound diffraction is the phenomenon that occurs when sound curves and spreads around an opening or obstacle. Men generally have deeper voices than women so if two people of different genders spoke into a microphone, the oscilloscope should give traces with different frequencies. the larger the number of complete cycles), the higher the pitch. The direct sound arriving at your ears directly from your hands is quickly followed by reflections from the walls, ceiling and floor. The frequency of a wave corresponds to its pitch - the higher the frequency (i.e. An iron maiden concert will be releasing higher amplitude sound waves than chanting monks. the larger the distance between the rest position and the peak of the wave), the louder the sound. These simple demonstrations can help visualize the diffraction of sound waves and provide a hands-on experience to enhance understanding. The amplitude of a wave corresponds to its volume - the higher the amplitude (i.e. We can use the oscilloscope trace to determine information about the sound, such as its volume and frequency. The oscilloscope then displays the sound wave on a screen. It is connected to a microphone, which detects the sound and converts it to an electrical signal.

An oscilloscope is a machine which shows the shape of sound waves.
