(b) Sound waves can also be modeled using the displacement of the air molecules.

Because hearing is one of our most important senses, it is interesting to see how the physical properties of sound correspond to our perceptions of it. Hearing is the perception of sound, just as vision is the perception of visible light. But sound has important applications beyond hearing. Ultrasound, for example, is not heard but can be employed to form medical images and is also used in treatment.

Hearing is the perception of sound. Sound can be modeled in terms of pressure or in terms of displacement of molecules. The human ear is sensitive to frequencies between 20 Hz and 20 kHz.
