23
Q

we use to produce sound

24
Q

sound travels in a series of______and ______

A

compressions and rarefractions

25
pushed:______,pulled:_____
compressed,rarefield
26
sound is a
longitudinal wave
27
created after pulling and pushing out of a medium
longitudinal waves
28
the waves move-_____to motion of material
parallel
29
higher temperature the higher the
kinetic energey
30
speed of sound at air temp 0 degrees
332m/s
31
temperature increases the speed of sound increases by
0.6m/s
32
formula for speed of sound
v=v0 degree+(0.6ms/c)T or v=332m/s +(0.6*T)
33
formula for speed if wavelenght is given
v=(lambda)(f)
34
occurs when sound bounces back
reflection of sound
35
reflected sound from surfaces
echo
36
used to determine ocean depth
sonar
37
sonar stands for
sound navigation and ranging
38
speed of waves in a medium is_____the distance between the barrier
constant
39
operate and maintain sonar system
sonar technicians
40
source is detemined by
v=d/t,d=vt,t=d/v
41
The time it takes to travel the distance between the barrier and source is half of the time.
d=vt/2
42
bending of sounds as they travel
refraction of sound
43
causes sound to be carried further and heard more during night
refraction of sound
44
sound travels faster when_____so curves_____
hotter,up
45
sound travels faster when_____so curves_____
hotter,down
46
bending of sound around barriers through small openings
diffraction of sound
47
overlapping of waves from different sources
inteference of sound
48
occurs when two waves combine to make 1 big wave with more amplitude
constructive interference
49
occurs when 2 waves combine to produce a wave with smaller amplitude
destructive interference
50
contains a microphone that picks up ambient noise
noise cancelling head set
51
two or more microphones that receive sound from different directions
noise cancelling microphones
52
captures valid noise
primary microphone
53
captures background noise
secondary microphone
