1
New cards

 Sound waves

mechanical waves that require a medium to travel through. (air, water)

2
New cards

longitudinal

waves in which the displacement of the medium is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. ( sound wave)

3
New cards

 rarefaction

troughs of a longitudinal wave where the medium is less dense than in the surrounding areas.

4
New cards

compression

crests of a longitudinal wave where the medium is denser than in the surrounding areas.

5
New cards

measure the wavelength of a longitudinal wave

The distance between two successive compressions or rarefactions in a longitudinal wave.

6
New cards

Pitch

The perceived frequency of a sound, which determines how high or low the sound seems to a listener.

7
New cards

infrasonic

Sounds with a frequency below the range of human hearing, typically below 20 Hz.

8
New cards

ultrasonic

Sounds with a frequency above the range of human hearing, typically above 20,000 kHz.

New cards

 Sound intensity is an inverse square law

states that the intensity of sound decreases proportionally to the square of the distance from the source. This means that as you move away from the sound source, the perceived loudness decreases rapidly. (Double the distance = ¼ intensity, triple is 1/9 intensity, Cut distance in half  = 4x intensity)

12
New cards

Doppler effect

is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to an observer moving relative to the wave source. It is often heard as a change in pitch of a sound as the source moves closer or farther away.

13
New cards

What is creating the vibrations in tuba

players lips

14
New cards

What is creating the vibrations in clarinet

the reed in the mouthpiece

15
New cards

What is creating the vibrations in drum

the drumhead being struck

16
New cards

What is creating the vibrations in violin

the strings being bowed or plucked

17
New cards

resonance

the occurrence of a vibrating object causing another object to vibrate a higher amplitude.

18
New cards

Node

A point along a standing wave where the wave has minimal or no amplitude/motion

19
New cards

Antinode

A point along a standing wave where the wave has maximum amplitude and motion.

20
New cards

Open tube

node has to be in the middle due to fundamental frequency and the two antinodes are at the end

21
New cards

Closed tube

closed at one end therefore making it a node, open end is the antinode. (¼ wavelength is the smallest possible)

22
New cards

Timber

mix of two unique harmonies
