Inversely proportional

18
Q

It is the measure of how far variable gets away from its normal undistributed value

18
Q

Relationships of amplitude, power and intensity:

When area increases = density _______, why?

A

Acoustic velocity

24
Q

Stiffer media have _______ sound speeds.

25
Relation of acoustic impedance and refelction: | In substance with same Z, how much is the total transmission energy and is there any reflection?
Total transmission | There is no refelction
26
How to get the propagation speed of sound?
C= wavelength x frequency
26
The denser the medium = the ______ the propagation speed.
Lower
28
It indicates tge fractional decreasevin the volume when pressure is apploed to the material
Compressibility (K)
30
Relative measurement that compare value at one point to anoth er point. It is used to express a change in two values with same units.
Decibel
31
It is the property of a substance, which describes how the particles of that substance behave when subjected to a spund wave
Acoustic Impedance
31
Acoustc impedance is a product of?
Tissue density and speed of sound
31
Relation of acoustic impedance and refelction: | In substance with small difference of Z, how much is the transmission energy and is there any reflection?
There is a little energy reflected but most of the energy is transmitted.
33
It is the difference in acoustic impedance
Acoustic impedance mismatch
34
Relation of acoustic impedance and refelction: | In substance with large difference in Z, how much is the transmission energy and is there any reflection?
There is a large amount of reflection and a little energy that is trasmitted
35
It gives the proportion of energy reflected from an interface bet. two substances.
Intensity reflection Coefficient
36
It is the resistance of a material to compression.
Stiffness
