Sound

Cards (4)

  • two factors that determines the speed of a wave:
    -Elasticity of the medium.
    -Density of the medium.
  • Sound is propagated by vibrations and therefore needs a medium to propagate the sound.
  • The core of a loudspeaker vibrates (moves in an out)causing the surrounding air molecule
    s to be compressed and then stretched apart.
    A) Direction od movement⟶
    B) Rarefaction
    C) Compressions
  • Reflection
    -also known as an echo
    -Is softer than the original sound(some of the energy is absorbed by the reflecting surface)
