A longitudinal wave, that’s is caused by a sound wave and travels through a medium.

#3
Front (Question)

What is infrasound?

Back (Answer)

Slow vibrations or frequencies lower than 20 hertz

#4
Front (Question)

What is ultrasound?

Back (Answer)

A sound wave with frequencies above 20 hertz

#5
Front (Question)

What is resonance?

Back (Answer)

An occurrence that happens when two object naturally vibrate at the same frequency.

#6
Front (Question)

What is intensity?

Back (Answer)

The rate energy flows through an area

#7
Front (Question)

What is decibel?

Back (Answer)

Unit that intensity is measured in.

#8
Front (Question)

What is fundamental frequency?

Back (Answer)

The frequency of an objects vibrations.

#9
Front (Question)

What are harmonics?

Back (Answer)

They give every instrument a unique sound

#10
Front (Question)

What is sonar?

Back (Answer)

Uses acoustic signals to find a location or to communicate

#11
Front (Question)

What is Basilar Membrane?

Back (Answer)

In the cochlea and its a long flexible membrane. Different parts of the basilar membrane vibrate at different natural frequencies. When waves pass through the cochlea they resonate with specific parts of the basilar membrane.

Front (Question)

What is radar?

Back (Answer)

Determines the velocity and location of objects?

#15
Front (Question)

What is Electromagnetic Spectrum?

Back (Answer)

Light at all possible values of energy frequency and wavelength.

What is light Ray?

Back (Answer)

A line in space that matches the direction of the flow of radiant energy.

#17
Front (Question)

What is Virtual image?

Back (Answer)

An image that forms at a location from which light rays appear to come but do not actually come.

#18
Front (Question)

What is real image?

Back (Answer)

An image of an object formed by light rays that come together at a specific location.

#19
Front (Question)

What is diffuse reflection?

Back (Answer)

Reflection of light into random directions

#20
Front (Question)

What is geometrical optics?

Back (Answer)

The study of light in cases in which light behaves like Ray.

#21
