move. - ✔✔mechanical !| !|




Can sound travel through a vacuum? - ✔✔No. Sound must
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|



travel through matter and there is no matter in vacuums.
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|




there are areas of ______ and ______ in a sound wave -
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|

!| !| !| !| !| !|




Acoustic propagation properties are? - ✔✔the effects of the
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|



medium upon the sound wave !| !| !| !|




Acoustic variables - ✔✔changes that occur within a medium as
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|



a result of sound traveling through that medium
!| !| !| !| !| !| !|




What are the 3 acoustic variables? - ✔✔Pressure (P), density (ρ),
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|



and distance (particle vibration)
!| !| !|

,what is the acoustic variable pressure ? - ✔✔concentration of
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|



force in an area !| !| !| !|




units: pascals (Pa) !| !|




what is the acoustic variable density? - ✔✔concentration of mass
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|



in a volume
!| !| !| !|




units: kg/cm^3 !|




what is the acoustic variable distance? - ✔✔measure of particle
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|



motion !|




units: cm, feet, mile !| !| !|




what does one of the acoustic variables have to do in order to
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|



be a sound wave? - ✔✔rhythmically oscillate
!| !| !| !| !| !|




sound waves are also known as ____ waves - ✔✔acoustic
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|




What are the 7 acoustic parameters? - ✔✔1. Period
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|




2. Frequency
!|




3. Amplitude
!|




4. Power
!|




5. Intensity
!|




6. Wavelength
!|




7. Propagation speed
!| !|

, How do particles move in a transverse waves? -
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|



✔✔perpendicular to the wave propagation !| !| !| !| !|




(ex: hold end of string and shake up and down)
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|




how do particles move in longitudinal waves? - ✔✔in the same
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|



direction that the wave propagates. !| !| !| !| !|




sound is a longitudinal wave.
!| !| !| !|




what are considered in-phase waves? - ✔✔a pair of waves that
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|



have their peaks at the same time and same location
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|




what are considered out-of-phase waves? - ✔✔a pair of waves
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|



that have their peaks at different points and at different times
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|




what kind of interference occurs with in-phase waves? -
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|



✔✔constructive interference !|




what kind of interference occurs with out-phase waves? -
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|



✔✔destructive interference !|




what is interference (for sound)? - ✔✔when more than one
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|



sound beam travel in a medium and can arrive at the same
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|



place at the same time. the waves then loose their individual
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|



characteristics and combine to form a single wave. !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
