Question
Answer
Mass   A coherent typically large body of matter with no definite shape  
🗑
Elasticity   Restoring force, allowing recovery from distortion of shape of volume  
🗑
Inertia   Matter will stay at rest unless another force acts in opposition  
🗑
Compression   Density increase in wave  
🗑
Rarefaction   Density decrease in wave  
🗑
Length   The distance a wave travels in the time it takes from a particle to complete a cycle  
🗑
Displacement   Distance that a particle has moved from rest  
🗑
Velocity   Direction of movement of wave  
🗑
Force   Mass x Acceleration  
🗑
Pressure   Force/Area  
🗑
Amplitude   Max Displacement of Particle from rest  
🗑
Frequency   Number of Cycles per second  
🗑
Cycle   Movement from rest in one direction, back the other way. amd back to rest  
🗑
Period   Time it takes to complete one cycle  
🗑
Transverse wave   vibration of particle is 90 compared to direction of wave  
🗑
Longitudinal wave   vibration of particle is parallel to wave propagation  
🗑
Acceleration   time-rate change in velocity  
🗑
Difference between the sound source and the medium   sound source is the source of vibration whereas the medium is what it travels through  
🗑
Two properties that all sound sources of sound must have   Elasticity and mass  
🗑
Two properties that all mediums must have   Elasticity and mass  
🗑
Two opposing forces that allow vibration to take place   Elasticity and inertia  
🗑
Difference between particle movement and wave propagation   Particle Movement - a particle moving back and forth Wave propagation - wave moves through a medium and is a transfer from one particle to another  
🗑
Three fundamental physical quantities   Time, Length, Mass  
🗑
Difference between a scalar and vector measurement   Scalar - does not have distance (direction) component (speed) Velar - has a distance (direction) component (velocity)  
🗑
Two units used to measure pressure   Pascals and Newtons per meter squared  
🗑
Does sound vibrate more like a pendulum or more like a spring with a mass attached?   Sound is a longitudinal wave and often is referred to as a mass spring system. Therefore, it vibrates more like a spring with mass attached.  
🗑
Two characteristics describe the motion of a pendulum   Length and Gravity  
🗑
Two units of measurement for Frequency   Hertz and Cycles per second  
🗑
How does period relate to frequency?   Inversely related  
🗑
The harder I hit something   the farther it moves  
🗑
The heavier the object   the harder it is to put in motion or the harder it is to stop once it is in motion  
🗑
Frequency of vibration of a sound is determined by   physical characteristics of the source  
🗑
The speed of sound determined by   the physical characteristics of the medium  
🗑
The higher the frequency   the higher the perceived pitch  
🗑
Scalar   Length, Mass, Time  
🗑
Velar   Displacement, Velocity, Acceleration, Force, Pressure  
🗑
Simple harmonic motion   back and forth motion, oscillatory motion under a regarding proportional to the amount of displacement equilibrium position  
🗑
Sinusoidal waveform   describes a smooth repetetive oscillation, produced when plotted as a function of time  
🗑
Peak Maximum amplitude   highest value the wave reached about a reference value  
🗑
Peak to peak amplitude   difference between maximum position and maximum negative amplitudes of a waveform (top to bottom)  
🗑
Instantaneous amplitude   the value of a wave at any particular instant. often to chosen to coincide with some other event  
🗑
Root-mean-square amplitude   the square root of the mean of the squared deviations of the instantaneous values  
🗑
Damping   oscillating systems encounter opposition to motion, friction or frictional resistance  
🗑
Full wave rectified average (negative to postiive)   arithmetic mean of all instantaneous amplitudes, must take absolute value so there are positive values only  
🗑
Half wave rectified average   remove all negative values, take the mean of instantaneous amplitudes  
🗑
Starting phase   the angle in degrees now rotation begins  
🗑
Instantaneous phase   angle of rotation at some specified moment in time  
🗑
Wavelength   The distance a wave travels in one time it takes for a particle to complete one cycle of vibration  
🗑
Degrees in one cycle of vibration   360  
🗑
Three things that describe any sinusoidal waveform   Frequency, start phase, and peak amplitude  
🗑
Two quantities that determine wavelength   Frequency or period and speed of sound  
🗑
Velocity leads displacement by 90 degrees   Velocity is the rate of change of displacement, so it leads displacement by 90 degrees. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so it leads velocity by 90 degrees.  
🗑
When frequency is increased wavelength decreases   they are inversely proportional  
🗑
Speed increases   Wave increases  
🗑
Displacement of a vibrating object is   hard to measure  
🗑
The restoring force of elasticity is   directly related to the distance the mass is displaced from the  
🗑
Displacement node   Point of no vibration  
🗑
Displacement Antinode   Point of maximum displacement downward  
🗑
Which harmonic is standing wave tied at both ends with 3 antinodes?   2nd harmonic  
🗑
Vocal tract is most similar to   An air column with one end closed and one end open  
🗑
When a traveling wave meets a fixed end, how is the wave reflected?   As the traveling wave moves from the free end to the fixed end, it is right side up, but once it hits the fixed end and is reflected back, is upside down/inverted.  
🗑
When a traveling wave meets a loose end, how is the wave reflected?   Like a whip - Instead, the wave comes from a from a fixed end, then its opposite – the wave travels upside first, and once reflected, returns side up.  
🗑
What is a standing wave?   Two opposite direction traveling waves, original and reflected, of the same frequency and amplitude. It has nodes where amplitude is always zero, and amplitude which are always at maximum amplitude.  
🗑
The distance between 2 nodes, or between 2 antinodes, corresponds to   1 loop or 1/2 wavelength  
🗑
What are boundary condition of a guitar string?   Boundary conditions describe the state of the string at its ends - Could be free or fixed. Most sound producing objects are fixed at both ends (violin, guitar, piano string)  
🗑
The lowest frequency standing wave is called the ___________ or the ___________.   First harmonic or the fundamental  
🗑
A string with one end free and one end fixed results in ___________ harmonics only.   Odd Number  
🗑
Areas of no displacement (displacement nodes) correspond to what in terms of pressure? (in an air column)   Displacement node is a pressure antinode. Displacement antinode is a pressure node.  
🗑
