What else can I help you with?
What does a sound wave do as its energy is used up?
The eventual diminution of a sound waves is usually as heat dissipation in the wall materials, or perhaps in specially designed sound absorbers. During this process, the original amplitude of the wave will gradually diminish.
What is an auditory vibration?
An auditory vibration (aka acoustic wave or sound vibration) is when the tympanic membrane (eardrum) is hit by sound waves and vibrates. This vibration is picked up, amplified and transmitted through the middle ear by the ossicles. This vibration ends at the oval window since it changes to fluid vibration and ultiimately electrical energy in the inner ear.
How does the cochlea detect sound signals?
the cells of the hairs don't detect the sound waves at all. The full hair is vibrated by the sound waves and this vibration is picked up by nerves and the info is sent to the brain.
What happens to the energy of a sound wave if it is absorbed by a fabric?
Seeing as nobody has answered I will. Im not entirely sure so double check with a physics teacher but once its absorbed the fabric slightly heats up. like 0.0005 degrees. When absorbed reflection of sound is prevented.
If a sound wave speeds up and its frequency does not change what happens to the wavelength?
With the same speed -Apex (1.2.4)
Why do you hear a sound when you clap your hands together?
When you clap your hands together, the rapid collision of your hands creates a compression wave in the air. This compression wave travels to your ears and is picked up by your eardrums, which vibrate in response to the sound wave, sending signals to your brain that are interpreted as the sound of a clap.
What difference in a note does the amplitude of its sound wave make?
The amplitude of a sound wave determines the volume or loudness of the note. A higher amplitude wave produces a louder sound, while a lower amplitude wave produces a quieter sound.
Does frequency change when you turn up the volume?
No, turning up the volume does not change the frequency of a sound wave. The frequency of a sound wave is determined by the rate of vibrations, while the volume is related to the amplitude of the wave, which increases the intensity of the sound.
Do particles of air in a sound wave move up and down?
no, they move horizontally along the direction of the sound wave movement.
What is the difference between a sound wave that is transverse and one that is longitudinal?
A transverse sound wave moves up and down or side to side, while a longitudinal sound wave moves back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels.
What does the freqency of a sound wave affect?
The frequency of a sound wave affects the pitch of the sound. If the frequency of a wave increases causing more waves for every second, the pitch will go up, and vice-versa.
The difference between a low amplitude sound wave and a high amplitude sound wave is what?
The difference is that a low wave have long and smooth wave and a high wave has skinny and cramped togetther waves
How does your ears pick up sound?
Your ears don't pick up the sound, by the way. Well, you should know that sound is actually a wave that is vibrating. When sound is realeased, the wave travels until it halts. IF your in the distance of the waves aim, the wave will hit your ear drum. Then it vibrates into your ear, and your brain translates it for you. Then you hear sound.
What type of wave makes up sound waves?
longitudinal wave formed due to compressions and rarefractions of media through which sound is propogating
What wave is made up of a series of compressions and rarefactions?
A sound wave is made up of a series of compressions and rarefactions. In a compression, particles are close together, while in a rarefaction, particles are spread out. Sound waves travel by vibrating molecules and transferring energy through a medium like air or water.
What are the features of sound wave?
A sound wave is a vibration of air that travels at approximately 767mph. The higher up these vibrations go (amplitude), the louder the sound is. The closer together these vibrations are (frequency), the higher pitch the sound will be.
What is sound wave made up of?
A sound wave is simply a vibration in the air molecules, or the molecules of some other substance. This vibration propagates as a wave, the energy gets transferred somewhere else.
