        Help!  

Question
Answer
Doppler effect   shift in frequency caused by motion  
🗑
Frequency   sound tells you how fast the pressure oscillates  
🗑
Pitch   different sounds  
🗑
Decibels   loudness of sound  
🗑
Speaker   a device that is specially designed to reproduce sounds accurately  
🗑
Longitudinal waves   air is compressed in the direction of travel  
🗑
Subsonic   moving slower than sound  
🗑
Resonance   spaces enclosed by boundaries,with sound waves  
🗑
Reverberation   multiple echo  
🗑
Fourier's theorem   any wave form can be represented as a sum of single frequency waves  
🗑
Frequency spectrum   a graph that shows the amplitude of each component frequency in a complex wave  
🗑
Sonogram   a special kind of graph that shows how loud sound is different frequencies  
🗑
Cochlea   a tiny-filled organ in the inner ear  
🗑
Rhythm   a regular time pattern in a sound  
🗑
Musical scale   pattern of frequencies  
🗑
Consonance   more than one frequency of sound and the combination sounds good  
🗑
Dissonance   combination sounds bad or unsettling  
🗑
Beat   the phase of the two waves changes in a way that makes the loudness of the sound seem to oscillate  
🗑
Variation comes from   harmonics  
🗑


   

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.
