Q

Acoustic propagation properties

A

The effects of the medium upon the sound wave

17
Q

Biological effects

A

The effects of the sound wave upon the biological tissue through which it passes

18
Q

Sound waves are identified by OSCILLATION in acoustic variables. What 3 variables

A

Pressure (Pa), density kg/cm3, distance cm

19
Q

True or false: if one of the acoustics variables has a rythmic oscillation, then the wave is considered a sound wave

20
Q

Sound waves are also known as

A

Acoustic waves

21
Q

What are used to describe the characteristics of sound waves

A

Acoustic parameters

22
Q

What are the 7 parameters

A

Period, frequency, amplitude, power, intensity, wavelength, propagation speed

23
Q

How do particles move in a transverse plane

A

Perpendicular to the direction that the waves propagates

24
Q

How do particles move in a longitudinal plane

A

Particles move the same direction that the wave propagates

25
Is sound a transverse or longitudinal plane
Longitudinal
26
Describe in-phase waves
When both peaks (max values) and throughs (min value) occur at the same time and location
27
Describe out-of-phase
When both peaks and throughs occur at different times
28
Describe interference
When two waves traveling at the same time and location lose their characteristics and form a single wave
29
Constructive interference
In-phase waves result in greater amplitude than either components. Where wave is larger.
30
Destructive interference
Out-of-phase waves results in a lesser amplitude wave then at least one of the previous waves.
31
Complete destructive
When two out-of-phase waves are of equal amplitude. No waves
32
Interference of waves with diff frequencies
Waves of diff frequencies interfere. Both constructive and destructive interference
