Essential Tips Keep it concise. Limit the length of your letter to one side of one page—or less than 500 words. Keep it courteous. Avoid personal attacks, insults or threats. Identify your topic. Clearly state your topic in the first sentence. Stick to your topic. In the rest of your letter, stay focused on this topic. Be persistent. If your first letter is ignored, follow up with at least two more letters, each time referencing the earlier letter(s), and politely requesting a response.

Propagation of Sound G6

Main Ideas Vibrations cause waves of vibrations in a medium, and sound is transported by these vibrations. Sound requires a source, a medium and a receiver. We hear sounds because vibrations in the air cause our ear drums to vibrate. Resonance occurs when a object vibrates in harmony with a sound wave. Sound travels at about 343 m/s in air. Sound travels at different speeds in different mediums and conditions. Reflection phenomena (echos) are commonly heard with sound waves.
