Question
Answer
Pitch   Term that refers to how high or low sound frequencies appear to be.  
🗑
Infrasonic   Term applied to sound pitch too high to be heard by the human ear, that is, below 20 hertz.  
🗑
Ultrasonic   Term applied to sound frequencies above 20,000 hertz, the normal upper limit of human hearing.  
🗑
Compression   In sound, a pulse of compressed air (or other matter); opposite of rarefaction.  
🗑
Rarefaction   A disturbance in air (or matter) in which the pressure is lowered. Opposite of compression.  
🗑
Natural Frequency   A frequency at which an elastic object, once energized, will vibrate. Minimum energy is required to continue vibration at that frequency. Also called resonant frequency.  
🗑
Forced Vibration   The vibration of an object that is made to vibrate by another vibrating object that is nearby. The sounding board in a musical instrument amplifies the sound through forced vibration.  
🗑
Resonance   A phenomenon that occurs when the frequency of forced vibrations on an object matches the object's natural frequency, and a dramatic increase in amplitude results.  
🗑
Beats   A periodic variation in the loudness of sound caused by interference when two tones of slightly different frequencies are sounded together.
