Sound
Waves & Sound A. Waves 1. The nature of waves a. A wave is a rhythmic disturbance that transfers energy. b. All waves are made by something that vibrates. 2. Mechanical waves need a matter medium to travel through. (sound, water, seismic) 3. Two basic types of waves: a. Transverse...
While soundproofing products use dense, heavy materials, sound absorption treatments are typically made of soft, porous materials, such as foam or fabric. These materials trap sound waves in their microscopic openings, similar to the way that a sponge traps water....
Designed by Don Cheeseman 10 7/14/2013 How sound travels thru air 7/14/2013 Designed by Don Cheeseman 11 Definition of sound “Sound is a vibration that travels through an elastic medium as a wave.” This is easiest to imagine by watching a floating object bobbing in water while waves ...

Physical Science: Chapter 15 Sound Energy. Sound Sound waves are longitudinal waves because the vibrations of air molecules is parallel to the direction of wave motion. Look at tuning fork – as. The different forms of energy Notes-feb. 7...
7 ms 39 m/s 28 m/s Quench near to iris Quench at equateur The velocity is always higher than expected 20m/s This phenomenon of « too fast » 2nd sound wave has been found by several labs : @ CERN (Kitty Liao) @ DESY (Felix Schlander) J. Plouin – Results on second sound ...
Figure 8… When light passes from air into water, the light slows down. Light slows down even more when it passes from water into glass. When light passes from glass back into air, the light speeds up. Light travels fastest in air, a little slower in water, and slower still in glass...
WIND INSTRUMENTS How wind instruments produce sound: a vibration is created at one end of its air column, and then the vibration creates standing waves in the air column. See Figure 3 on p. 620. PERCUSSION PERCUSSION How they make sounds: They produce sound when they are struck ...
The Ear Being able to make sense of sound waves when having a conversation involves three stages 1.Gathering and amplification of the compressional waves by the ear mechanisms 2.Conversion of these waves into nerve pulses 3.Decoding these signals to the brain ...
