|
||||
| Displacement | the difference between the path of the initial and final position covered by a moving object.
🗑

🗑
|
||||

| Under the concept of phase, how is it defined? | indicates a particular stage in the cycle of motion using the angles from a degree as the unit of measure.
🗑
|
||||
| What is a phase relationship? | Describes the difference between the phase of two periodic waveforms as they cycle though time.
🗑
|
||||
| What are two examples of phase relationships? | In phase and Out of phase
🗑
|
||||
| When two waveforms have the same frequency and the same phase is said to have what type of phase relationship? | In phase
🗑
|
||||
| When two waveforms have the same frequency but the phase is not the same they are said to be what? | Out of phase
🗑
|
||||
| what are the degrees of phase represented as? | 0, 90, 180, 270, 360
🗑
|
||||
| true or false: A simple sinusoidal vibration is rarely present in nature. | True
🗑
|
||||
| _____ is created from combining two or more sinusoidal vibrations. | Complex vibration
🗑
|
||||
| How are complex vibrations categorized? | As periodic and aperiodic.
🗑
|
||||
| A complex vibration that has a clear repeating pattern is said to be_____. | Periodic
🗑
|
||||
| A complex vibration that has a random pattern or motion is said to be ______. | Aperiodic
🗑
|
||||
| The process of combining several individual sinusoidal motions into a complex waveform is called | Waveform synthesis
🗑
|
||||
| A break down of a wave form and looking at individual frequency components is called | Waveform Analysis
🗑
|
||||
| What components does a waveform analysis show? | Individual frequency components in a spectrum
🗑
|
||||
| the frequency domain refers to the analysis of mathematical functions or signals with respect to frequency, rather than time. | x-axis= Frequency
🗑
|
||||
| What does sound need to be generated? | 1. Vibrating object= Vocal folds
2. Elastic Medium = Air
3. Force = Air from the Lungs
🗑
|
||||
| What types of waves are generated and which one is directly related to sound? | Longitudinal and Transverse waves
🗑
|
||||
| How is song propagated though space? | A longitudinal wave

|
||||

|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| Loss of energy due to friction encountered in the medium | Absorption
🗑
|
||||
| Occurs when sound wave strikes the surface of a boundary and a small amount will be absorbed and the rest is put back into the environment. | Reflection
🗑
|
||||
| The sound that travels though the new medium. As a sound wave travels though the boundary part of it will be absorbed, some will be reflected back and some will travel though the new medium. | Refraction
