Wave Characteristics And Sound Of Sound Flashcards
(36 cards)
There are measurable quantities that vary within a medium as sound propagates.
Acoustic Variables
It is the amount of force in a given area
Pressure
Relationships of amplitude, power and intensity:
- ) ⬆️ Power = ____ intensity
- ) ⬆️ Area = ____ density
- ) ⬇️ Area = ____ intensity
- )⬆️
- )⬇️
- ) ⬆️
It is the distance moves by the molecules in the medium
Particle motion
It is the power per unit area
Intensity
Relationships of amplitude, power and intensity:
When power increases = intensity _______
increases
It isbthe rate at which the work is done
Power
The easier a medium is to reduce in volume =
The higher its compressibility
It is the concentration of matter
Density
It is the speed at which sound moves through a medium
Speed propagation
It refers to the ability if an object to return to its original shape.
Elasticity
It is the mass per unit volume
Density
What is the relationship of the velocity of sound in amedium to density?
Inversely proportional
It is the concentration of heat energy
Temperature
On n the basis of density alone, sound wave have greater velocity in ____ than in _____.
air, bone
Relationships of amplitude, power and intensity:
When area decreases = intensity _______, why?
Increases, bc power is more concentrated
What is the relationship of the velocity of sound through a medium to compressibility of the medium?
Inversely proportional
It is the measure of how far variable gets away from its normal undistributed value
Amplitude
Relationships of amplitude, power and intensity:
When area increases = density _______, why?
Decreases, bc power is less concentrated
It is the reciprocal of compressibility
Bulk modulus
It is the fraction of the incident intensity transmitted into the second medium
Intensity transmission coefficient
What is the relationship of the velocity of sound through a medium to the bulk modulud of the medium?
Directky proportional
When we combine the comressibility and density into an equation, we can determine?
Acoustic velocity
Stiffer media have _______ sound speeds.
