Intro to Audiology

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Amplitude   The maximum displacement of the particles of a medium; the distance between the baseline and the maximum displacement.  
🗑
Aperiodic Wave   A wave with an absense of periodicity, where it is impossible to predict what the wave will look like from one time to the next. Its vibratory motion is random.  
🗑
Complex Wave   Any sound that is not sinusoidal; it itself is composed of a series of simple sine waves that can differ in amplitude, frequency, and phase.  
🗑
Energy   The measure of the capacity to do work OR something that can produce a change in matter.  
🗑
Fourier Analysis   Takes a complex wave form and decomposes/analyzes it to determine the amplitudes, frequencies, and phases of its sine wave componants.  
🗑
Frequency   The number of cycles completed per second.  
🗑
Logarithmic Scale   One unit on the scale is so many times greater (or less) than another; successive units are always different by some constant ratio, and the constant ratio always equals the base.  
🗑
Period   The time (seconds) it takes for a vibration to complete one cycle of vibration.  
🗑
Wavelength   The distance traveled by a sound wave during one period of vibration.  
🗑
Waveform   A graph in which changes in pressure or amplitude (displacement), are shown as a function of time.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
