What are three ways that sound waves interact?
The three ways that sound waves interact are: reflection, diffraction, refraction.
Do the longitude lines on a globe measure the distance north and south or east and west?
They measure east and west
What term is used to measure the distance at sea?
nautical mile
What is the SI base unit used to measure distance?
The metre.
What is social distance scale?
Describes and explains methods used to measure distance while navigating a map with a compass
What are ways to measure ground distance?
Pace Count
The system of using sound to measure distance is called what?
Sonar.
What ways can you measure th distance to nearby stars?
You can measure it by using absolute magnitude.
What were the early ways to measure length an distance 5 ways?
hands span and feet
Describe ways that echoes are used in measurement?
The speed of sound is the distance travelled by the sound waves in the time between the original sound and the echo. For a direct echo, the distance travelled is double the distance to the reflecting surface.
How many decibels is a normal conversion?
That depends how close you measure to the speaker. The closer - the louder! The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter. In 1 meter distance the sound pressure level is arround 60 decibels SPL.
How do you measure the speed of sound in water and air?
There are a few different ways you could measure the speed of sound in water and air. You could record the amount of time it takes a sound to be heard from the source to the destination for example.
How loud is the ocean in decibels?
That depends how close you measure "the ocean". The closer - the louder! The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter.
How is wave length of light determined?
To measure the wavlength of light or sound, you measure the distance from ther crest (hump) of the wave to the trough (dip) of the wave.
How many decibels does a bus have?
That depends how close you measure to the bus. The closer - the louder! The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter.
How can you measure distance with sound waves?
Animals such as bats project sound waves at objects and use the time until the perception the reflected wave to determine the distance of the object. This is called echolocation. Humans have used the same principles to develop Sonar technology, which is used primarily underwater to detect objects under water (we have radar and plain sight to detect objects in air).
If you have a force acting on an object for a certain period of time how can you find the distance traveled?
There are two ways to find the distance traveled. One is to measure the distance traveled. The other is to measure the distance raveled within a certain amount of time and then multiply to find how far it will travel in the future.
