Unrelated
Two items are not associated
Related / proportional
Two items that are associated or affiliated. Relationship does not have to be specified.
Directly related / directly proportional
Two items that are associated such that when on item increases the other increases
Inversely related / inversely proportional
Two items are associated such that when one item increase the other decrease
Reciprocal
Two numbers with a reciprocal relationship are multiplied together, the result is one. INVERSE
Increase by a factor
Multiply
Decrease by a factor
Divide
1 inch is how many cm
2.54
Positive exponent , 1.0 x 10^6=
Greater than 10, = 1,00,000
Negative exponent, 1.24 x 10^-7
Less than one, .000000124
Sound pulses created by transducer travel through-
Biological tissue or media
All waves carry-
Carry energy from one location to another
What type of wave is sound
Mechanical
Molecules in a sound wave are
Compressed and rarefied
How does sound waves travel
Straight and longitudinal
Acoustic propagation properties
The effects of the medium upon the sound wave
Biological effects
The effects of the sound wave upon the biological tissue through which it passes
Sound waves are identified by OSCILLATION in acoustic variables. What 3 variables
Pressure (Pa), density kg/cm3, distance cm
True or false: if one of the acoustics variables has a rythmic oscillation, then the wave is considered a sound wave
True
Sound waves are also known as
Acoustic waves
What are used to describe the characteristics of sound waves
Acoustic parameters
What are the 7 parameters
Period, frequency, amplitude, power, intensity, wavelength, propagation speed
How do particles move in a transverse plane
Perpendicular to the direction that the waves propagates
How do particles move in a longitudinal plane
Particles move the same direction that the wave propagates
