    Why Sound Cannot be Produced from a Motionless Speaker

    i thought of a design of a motionless speaker, it consisted of a LARGE[I] electromanget that when charged, would attract atoms in the air toward the magnet. then immediatly after that, change the polarity of the magnet and therefore repelling the atoms. repeating this motion would creat...

    Sound wave question (dealing with a speaker)

    Hello all, I have another sound question: "If louder sounds have bigger compression waves, what does a speaker have to do in order to create louder sound?" Ok, so a speaker creates a sound wave by generating regions of high and low pressure. It is these regions of high pressure and low...
