EXAM 1 Review 2025 Questions and
Answers
Attack - --CORRECT ANSWER--~also called "Rise"
~time from silence to maximum amplitude
Release - --CORRECT ANSWER--~also called "Fall"
~time from maximum amplitude to silence
Compression - --CORRECT ANSWER--
Rarefaction - --CORRECT ANSWER--decrease in molecule density
Frequency - --CORRECT ANSWER--number of cycles completed per second
Amplitude - --CORRECT ANSWER--displacement from equilibrium position
Phase - --CORRECT ANSWER--~position of the waveform in its cycle at a
specific moment in time

, ~refers to the particular point of a cycle
~expressed in degrees of angle
Period (t) - --CORRECT ANSWER--time it takes to complete one cycle
P = 1/f
Wavelength - --CORRECT ANSWER--physical length of a single cycle
wavelength = speed of sound (c)/ frequency (f)
Peak Amplitude - --CORRECT ANSWER--maximum displacement of the
waveform from the baseline
Peak-to-Peak Amplitude - --CORRECT ANSWER--difference in displacement
between the largest amplitude above the baseline and largest amplitude below
baseline
