Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) - Answers -Includes:
-Clinical expertise
-Research based evidence
-Patient values and preferences
Integration of these three bodies of knowledge

,Acoustics - Answers -Science of sound; production, control, transmission, reception and effects
of sound
Sound - Answers -*Vibratory energy* transmitted by pressure waves through a medium
(medium= air, water)
-Sound cannot travel through a vacuum
Energy source —> vibrating object —> medium —> receptor
-Sound is just the movement of energy; Sound is not actually a molecule
Vibration - Answers -Repetitive expansion and contraction of a source
Compression - Answers -Higher than normal air pressure (expansion)
Decibels (dB) - Answers -Unit of sound
-Logarithmic scale
-SPL; sound pressure level
-1 dB is NOT silent
-120 dB is painful
2|Page
,Rarefaction - Answers -Lower than normal air pressure (contraction)
Frequency - Answers -Gives sounds a particular pitch; # of waves per period; cycles per second
(more waves = higher pitch); a *physical* measurement of pitch
Loudness - Answers -Determined by the amplitude of a sound wave (large amplitude = larger
sound); psychological and perception associated with intensity
Waves - Answers -Occur as the compression and rarefaction of a medium ***slides***
(Ex. Tuning fork = object, pressure created when hit on a surface, waves travel, hear sound)
Amplitude - Answers -The furthest a wave travels from a middle point; height of waves per
period
Wavelength - Answers -Distance between contraction and rarefaction
Echo - Answers -Reflection of a sound wave off of a surface
Simple Sound Waves - Answers -Exhibits sinusoidal motion
3|Page
, Period - Answers -Time required to complete a vibrational cycle; one cycle goes from peak to
peak
Phase - Answers -The position of a point in time on a wave cycle
In phase - Answers -Cycles are parallel/identical (doubles amplitude)
Completely Out of Phase - Answers -Opposite cycles (cancels out Sound)
Out of Phase - Answers -Cycles are slightly off
Intensity - Answers -The strength of the energy of a sound wave
Instantaneous Amplitude - Answers -Pick a specific point
Peak to Peak Amplitude - Answers -Highest point to highest point
