When you scream into a pillow, the sound waves are muffled and absorbed by the fabric of the pillow, reducing the overall volume. The interaction is a combination of sound absorption and reflection, as some sound may still escape the pillow and be heard in the surrounding environment, albeit at a lower intensity.

What happens to the frequency and Amplitude when you scream?

When you scream, the frequency typically increases, resulting in a higher pitch. The amplitude also increases, making the sound louder. This happens because your vocal cords vibrate faster and with more force when you scream compared to when you speak normally.


What loudness and intensity are not the same concept due to the interaction of?

Sound intensity or acoustic intensity can be calculated from the objective measurement of the sound pressure. The loudness is a psycho-acoustic subjective feeling, which is difficult to measure.


Does matter help sound travel through an empty room?

By definition, matter is required for sound to exist. Sound waves are transferred by vibration of molecules, which is why sound does not exist within the vacuum of space. In space nobody really can hear you scream.


What wave interaction happens inside a material rather than on the surface?

The wave interaction that occurs inside a material is called bulk wave interaction. This type of interaction involves the propagation of waves through the volume of a material, rather than just along its surface or boundaries. Examples of bulk waves include sound waves in a solid and seismic waves traveling through the Earth.


What type of energy change in a loudspeaker?

In a loudspeaker, electrical energy from an amplifier is converted into mechanical energy in the form of sound waves. This conversion occurs through the interaction of the electrical current with a magnet and a diaphragm, which causes vibrations that produce sound.
