At a scientific level, sound and noise are technically the same - they are vibrations in the air (or in water) that we pick up with our ears. The bigger the waves are (their amplitude ), the stronger the vibrations are, and the louder the sound is. However, sound is something that we hear in general. Noise is something that we canhear, but don
THE CHEMISTRY OF LIPSTICK Let’s now look specifically at lipstick, where the main components are waxes and oils. These are compounds containing mainly hydrogen and carbon.
