- The physics of generating acoustic waves involves the high-speed passage of air pressurized by the lungs through narrow passages, past the mucosal epithelial layers of the vibrating vocal folds. Sounds are further modulated by the passage of this air through narrow passages between the tongue, lips, and teeth, dislodging oral fluid at all of these locations. Generation of droplets is inevitably linked to the physics of speech generation, and not limited to one person as is highlighted in a short video recording
