Question
Answer
show The difference between two frequencies.  
🗑
show With slower wave velocity.  
🗑
The fastest earthquake wave is the:   show
🗑
show L wave.  
🗑
An octave refers to two frequencies that differ by a factor of:   show
🗑
show  
🗑
The fastest sound wave is:   show
🗑
show The time between the P and S waves.  
🗑
Sound travels fastest in:   show
🗑
When an opening gets smaller, a wave that passes through it:   show
🗑
show Liquid iron.  
🗑
show P wave.  
🗑
show P waves are the fastest, and L waves cause the most destruction.  
🗑
The L wave is often the most damaging because:   show
🗑
show Slows it down.  
🗑
show The amplitude of the earthquake increases.  
🗑
show Bend downward.  
🗑
The ocean sound channel:   show
🗑
Sound tends to bend toward the side with:   show
🗑
The same note is played on two pianos. Beats are heard once per second. From this, we deduce that:   show
🗑
show No S waves move across it.  
🗑
A magnitude 9 earthquake, compared to a magnitude 8 earthquake:   show
🗑
You feel the tremors of an earthquake. Ten seconds later, you feel another shaking. The distance to the epicenter is about:   show
🗑
show Halved.  
🗑
show Sound is a wave.  
🗑
The velocity of sound is approximately:   show
🗑
The speed of sound in air:   show
🗑
Sounds waves are:   show
🗑
On a typical day, sound emitted near the ground tends to bend:   show
🗑
show The air near the ground is cool and the air above it is warm.  
🗑
show Bend downward toward the surface.  
🗑
To have a sound channel, there must be:   show
🗑
SOFAR took advantage of:   show
🗑
Water waves are:   show
🗑
show The sound doesn't spread in the up or down directions.  
🗑
As you travel deeper into the ocean, the water temperature:   show
🗑
A pianist plays 2 keys: middle C, and the C above middle C (i.e., an octave higher.) The SPEED OF SOUND for the higher frequency, comopared to that for the lower frequency, is:   show
🗑
show First gets cooler, then warmer.  
🗑
The atmospheric sound channel would not exist, if not for:   show
🗑
The ozone layer is created by:   show
🗑
SOSUS refers to:   show
🗑
show It was concerned with the atmosphere.  
🗑
show Microphones.  
🗑
Very long wavelength water waves:   show
🗑
Whales and fiber optics both make use of what principle?   show
🗑
show The wave moves slower.  
🗑
A water wave has a wavelength of 10 meters and a frequency of 2 cycles/sec. It's velocity is:   show
🗑
The sound from a passing car sounds like a high pitch, but as it passes, it gets lower. That's an example of:   show
🗑
Thunderclouds tend to rise until:   show
🗑
show Ultraviolet light.  
🗑
In the daytime, sound tends to:   show
🗑
show L wave.  
🗑
show At the same speed as high frequency.  
🗑
The piano note A above middle C is 440 Hz. The next higher A has a frequency:   show
🗑
