Sound
Across
- 1. The time it takes for a sound to fade in a given space.
- 6. Organ responsible for detecting and processing sound waves.
- 10. Sound waves with frequencies below 20 Hz.
- 13. A wave that carries sound through a medium.
- 14. A type of wave where particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the wave direction.
- 18. The maximum displacement of particles in a wave.
- 23. Unwanted or harmful sounds in the environment.
- 24. The power carried by a sound wave per unit area.
- 27. The rate at which a sound wave travels through a medium.
- 29. A sequence of frequencies produced by a vibrating body.
- 30. Change in frequency or wavelength of sound due to motion of source or observer.
Down
- 2. A measure of how much sound is absorbed by a surface.
- 3. The point where a sound wave reflects off a surface.
- 4. A method of varying frequency to encode signals in sound waves.
- 5. The pattern of motion created by vibrating particles.
- 7. A device used to produce specific vibrations to demonstrate sound.
- 8. Structures designed to reduce noise levels.
- 9. How high or low a sound seems to a listener.
- 11. The number of wave cycles that pass a point per second.
- 12. A logarithmic scale to measure sound intensity levels.
- 15. A method of varying amplitude to encode signals in sound waves.
- 16. Characteristics of materials that affect sound propagation.
- 17. The energy carried by sound waves.
- 19. Reflected sound that is heard distinctly after a delay.
- 20. The part of the human body responsible for hearing.
- 21. The frequency at which a system naturally oscillates with maximum amplitude.
- 22. Sound waves with frequencies above 20,000 Hz.
- 25. The mass per unit volume of a medium affecting sound propagation.
- 26. The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in a wave.
- 28. The attribute of sound that allows differentiation between sounds of the same pitch and loudness.
