Your perception of the amplitude of a sound wave is?
The amplitude of a sound wave is a measure of the distance between the rest position and the maximum displacement of the particle from its rest position. It is equal to half the total displacement of a vibrating particle.
Why does sound travel through iron faster than air?
Sound travels faster through iron because iron is more dense than air, which means the particles in iron are bunched closer together. When a sound occurs, the vibrations bounce against the particles and then all the particles bounce against each other until the sound eventually bounces into your ear. It takes a shorter time for sound to travel through iron because the sound can bounce from particle to particle more quickly as there is a smaller distance between each one, whereas it takes longer through air as the distance between each particle is much larger. That's why if you are in space and talk (without a space helmet or anything) you wouldn't hear anything because there are no particles for the sound vibrations to bounce against. Hope this was helpful! :)
Does the molecular movement created by sound continue forever?
No, it will eventually be absorbed.No, it will eventually be absorbed.No, it will eventually be absorbed.No, it will eventually be absorbed.
A something contains no particle so no sound can travel through?
Something = Vacuum
A sound waves amplitude corresponds to the sounds what?
Usually, people are asking as if there is just "the" amplitude in sound waves in air. The loudness perception of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves − the higher the amplitude, the louder the sound. Which amplitude of sound (sound amplitude) do you mean? There are: amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. Furthermore, think of the amplitude of the oscillation of a string. The maximum magnitude of the deflection of a wave is called amplitude. Look at link: "What is an amplitude?"
How does sound travel a material?
They pass from particle to particle by vibrating the particle. When the particle touches another particle, it transfers the sound energy to that particle. Hence the Sound Wave.
How does sound travel though a material?
They pass from particle to particle by vibrating the particle. When the particle touches another particle, it transfers the sound energy to that particle. Hence the Sound Wave.
What can contribute to receptor specificity?
The transduction of energy for receptor response depends on the energy being captured. In English, Eyes respond to light, Ears respond to sound.
Is sound a particle or wave?
wave
What are particle diagrams that show comparisons of the speed at which sound will move through materials?
what are particle that show comparasons of the speed at wich sound will move throught matirials ? what are particle that show comparasons of the speed at wich sound will move throught matirials ?
How does sound travels in a solid explain?
Sound is a series of vibrations. In a solid they travel in waves from particle to particle, causing the solid to make a noise.
How do sensory receptors work?
A receptor is generally a recognition molecule situated on the surface of a cell. A receptor is a molecule that is sensitive to a particular signal and is also able to transmit information to the nucleus in order to control gene regulation. In order for a receptor to function, it must first be activated. The binding of a ligand to the receptor places the receptor in the activated state. Once the receptor is activated, it is now able to transmit signal to the interior of the cell.
How are the amplitudes of sound waves?
There is not only "one" amplitude. There is an amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude, an amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude, an amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude, an amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. If the "sound" inceases, the "amplitude" also increases.
How is it possible for a sound wave to transmit energy but not matter?
Sound wave's transmit energy and not matter because sound travels from particle to particle transferring only energy. That is why when sound travels only the energy travels and the particles just collide with each other but stay in their positions.
