Question Answer
acousticsThe effect of materials and their shapes on sound.
amplitudeThe distance that a wave rises or falls from its normal rest position.
beatsThe destructive interference of two sound wave with slightly different frequencies and similar amplitudes.
compressionsA region where air molecules are pushed closer together than normal by the energy of a wound wave.
decibels (db)The smallest difference in intensity between two sounds that the human ear is capable of detecting.
Doppler effectThe effect of motion on sound; named in honor of the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler.
EcholocationAnimals use this to find prey by sending out a high-pitched frequency which bounces off the prey.
frequencyThe number of waves that pass a given point in one second.
infrasonic wavesSound waves that are too low in frequency for the human ear.
loudnessRelated to intensity; how strong or weak a sound is to an observer.
pitchThe distance between two adjacent threads on a screw; how high or low a tone sounds to an observer (related to frequency).
rarefactionsA region where the air molecules are spread apart by the energy of a sound wave.
resonanceThe transfer of energy from one object to another object with the same natural frequency.
sonarA type of listening device that uses sound waves to locate object; sound navigation and ranging.
soundMechanical waves that can often be detected by our ears.
threshold of hearingThe very softest sound level that can be detected by an observer.
ultrasonic wavesSound waves that are too high in frequency for the human ear to hear.
wavesRhythmic disturbances that transfer energy through space or matter.
