Learning Goal: To understand the nature of a sound wave, including its properties: frequency, wavelength, loudness, pitch, and t

imbre.
Sound is a phenomenon that we experience constantly in our everyday life. Therefore, it is important to understand the physical nature of a sound wave and its properties to correct common misconceptions about sound propagation.
Most generally, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave that propagates in a medium (i.e., air). The particles in the medium oscillate back and forth along the direction of motion of the wave. This displacement of the particles generates a sequence of compressions and rarefactions of the medium. Thus, a sound wave can also be described in terms of pressure variations that travel through the medium. The pressure fluctuates at the same frequency with which the particles’ positions oscillate.
When the human ear perceives sound, it recognizes a series of pressure fluctuations rather than displacements of individual air particles.

Part A

Based on the information presented in the introduction of this problem, what is a sound wave?

A. Propagation of sound particles that are different from the particles that comprise the medium
B. Propagation of energy that does not require a medium
C. Propagation of pressure fluctuations in a medium
D. Propagation of energy that passes through empty spaces between the particles that comprise the medium

Part B

Having established that a sound wave corresponds to pressure fluctuations in the medium, what can you conclude about the direction in which such pressure fluctuations travel?

A. The direction of motion of pressure fluctuations is independent of the direction of motion of the sound wave.
B. Pressure fluctuations travel perpendicularly to the direction of propagation of the sound wave.
C. Pressure fluctuations travel along the direction of propagation of the sound wave.

Part C

Does air play a role in the propagation of the human voice from one end of a lecture hall to the other?

A. yes
B. no

Give an example to explain that motion is relative in nature
Maurinko [17]
Consider a long train moving at speed v. Now consider a passenger throwing a ball inside this train, towards the back of the train, with same velocity v (but in the opposite direction of the train movement). 

- A passenger inside the train will see the ball moving with speed v
- For an observer outside the train, however, the ball will appear as still. In fact, for him the ball will have a speed v (given by the movement of the train) -v (velocity of the ball but moving in the opposite direction), so the net velocity will be v+(-v)=0.

______ involves organizing and breaking down information into easier groups to expand capacity. Rehearsal is the verbal repetiti
adell [148]

Hi!


The answers would be <u>chunking</u> & <u>short-term</u>


1. <u>Chunking </u>involves organizing and breaking down information into easier groups to expand capacity.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Chunking is a mental process that is observed to increase short-term memory by taking the information and categorizing it into small groups. For instance, a longer number taken as a single unit is harder to recall then when it is divided into smaller units. 235469350 is harder to instantly recall as compared to when it is chunked into 3 groups: 235 469 350.

This allows more information to be stored in, thereby increasing the capacity of the mind to store information.


2. Rehearsal is the verbal repetition of information. These techniques are especially important for the improvement of <u>short-term</u> memory.

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

Short-term memory is lost after a couple of seconds or minutes, for instance even if you chunk the information, you might not recall it after 30 seconds. Rehearsing or repetition of information, either loudly or mentally, extends the time a particular information is retained.

So you depending on the number of times you repeat the number 235 469 350, the more your short term memory improves .


Hope this helps!

Alik [6]

Answer:

the Voltages become negative instead of positive but the magnitude remains the same.

Explanation:

If we remove  the positive charge by dragging it back to the box at the bottom, and drag a negative charge (blue) toward the middle of the screen, the Voltages become negative instead of positive but the magnitude remains the same.
