wave
the seven parameters that describe sound waves are - Answer✅✅period,
frequency
amplitude, power, intensity
speed and wavelength
period - Answer✅✅time required to complete a single cycle
, period is determined by - Answer✅✅the sound source
frequency - Answer✅✅number of cycles per second
frequency is determined by - Answer✅✅the sound source
ultrasound has a frequency of - Answer✅✅> 20,000 Hz
audible sound has a frequency of - Answer✅✅between 20Hz and 20,000Hz
infrasound has a frequency of - Answer✅✅< 20Hz
frequency is related to what kind of resolution? - Answer✅✅axial resolution
