Acoustics
Across
- 1. Oscillations that produce sound waves in a material medium.
- 5. A logarithmic scale used to measure sound intensity.
- 9. Range of sound frequencies audible or used in applications.
- 13. Waves in which particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
- 15. Method for measuring velocity of sound by analyzing reflected sound waves.
- 17. The natural frequency at which an object vibrates when disturbed.
- 20. A surface that reflects sound waves to direct them towards a listener.
- 21. The difference in phase between two points in a sound wave cycle.
- 28. A device that collects and directs sound waves into the ear for better hearing.
- 29. The rate of wave travel through a given medium.
- 30. A medium with lower density, affecting sound speed.
- 31. The power carried by sound waves per unit area in a direction perpendicular to that area.
Down
- 2. The speed at which sound waves propagate through a medium.
- 3. The bouncing back of sound waves from a surface.
- 4. Movement of waves through a medium.
- 6. Sound reflection from surfaces, altering wave direction.
- 7. Different types of sound waves based on frequency: infrasonic, audible, and ultrasonic.
- 8. Reduction in sound energy as it passes through a medium or reflects off a surface.
- 10. Density of the material through which sound travels, impacting speed and quality.
- 11. Distance between two successive points in phase in a wave cycle.
- 12. Surfaces with curvature that alter the direction and spread of sound waves.
- 14. The minimum frequency at which a sound can be perceived by the ear.
- 16. Mechanical vibrations that travel through a medium as waves.
- 18. Sound waves with frequencies above the human audible range (>20,000 Hz).
- 19. Flat surfaces that affect sound reflection and propagation.
- 22. Sound waves with frequencies below the human audible range (<20 Hz).
- 23. Changes in the maximum displacement of sound waves.
- 24. Change in frequency or wavelength of sound relative to an observer moving relative to the source.
- 25. The process by which sound is interpreted by the brain.
- 26. Regulating the perceived frequency of sound.
- 27. The number of oscillations of sound per second, measured in Hertz (Hz).
