Quantum Physics
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Acoustics is the branch of physics that deals with the study of sound in different types of matter such as, solids, liquids and gases.

Detailed explanation-2: -Acoustics deals with the study of sound and its transmission, production, and effects. Acoustics mainly involves the mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids, which include vibration, sound, ultrasound, and infrasound.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sound wave consists of vibrating particles. These knock into other particles causing them to vibrate, and so the sound can travel away from the source. You can hear sound because the vibrations in the air cause your ear drums to vibrate. This vibration is converted into signals which travel down a nerve to your brain.
