Across
- 9. Sound waves are this type of wave
- 10. Less than human audible range
- 12. Range of sound intensity that humans can hear
- 15. pulsation in loudness heard when 2 soundwaves of similar frequency are played simultaneously
- 16. Picks up energy of wave/pulse, stimulates auditory nerve
- 17. correlates to pitch
- 18. Closed at one end, open at one end
- 19. Family of frequencies generated in a single plucked string
Down
- 1. Pitch of sound depends on this property of a standing wave
- 2. Greater than human audible range
- 3. interprets electric impulse as "sound"
- 4. Transfers energy
- 5. Explosive sound heard when a high speed object travels past an observer at supersonic speeds
- 6. Sound waves are of this shape
- 7. Disturbs surrounding medium
- 8. Lowest, loudest tone heard
- 11. Rate at which energy is transferred through a medium per unit area
- 13. High frequency waves tend to do this
- 14. correlates to loudness
- 20. Open at both ends
