Speech Science: Exam 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Acoustics | The study of sound |
| Sound is the _______ we feel when acoustic energy enters our auditory system | Sensation |
| For something to be heard there needs to be a _________ | Source and a medium |
| Acoustic energy is energy in form of __________________ that carry the energy from one place to another | Oscillating (vibrating) particles in a medium |
| ________ is the same thing as sound | Acoustic energy |
| Sound | A disturbance in a medium. The disturbance produces a wave that travels through space |
| _________ goes from point A to point B, but NOT a specific particle | Acoustic energy |
| Most common medium is through _______ | Air |
| Macroscopic view | An ocean wave where the surface shows a succession of curves |
| Microscopic view | The wave is about the particles |
| Newton’s First Law of Motion | Once a particle transfers its energy to the next particle, it will remain in uniform motion and gradually the motion will die because of resistance |
| Speed of sound | The distance travelled per unit time by a medium |
| The speed of sound varies from __________ | Substance to substance |
| The speed of sound is measured in? | Meters/seconds |
| In common everyday speech, speed of sound refers to? | The speed of sound waves in air |
| Cycle | Each individual vibration |
| Frequency (f) | The number of cycles completed in 1 second |
| Frequency is measured in? | Hertz (Hz) |
| Period (T) | The time taken for each cycle to complete |
| Wavelength (λ) | Distance travelled by the wave in 1 period (peak-to-pea distance) |
| Wavelength (λ) is measured in? | Meters (m) |
| Amplitude | The size or magnitude of a vibration |
| Amplitude ______ over time as energy is lost due to friction | Decreases |
| Damping | Dying out of a vibration over time |
| Period (T) is time in? | Seconds to complete a cycle |
| Frequency (f) is cycles per | Second |
| Period formula: | T = 1/f |
| Frequency formula: | f = 1/T |
| If the frequency = 20 Hz, what is the period? | T = 0.05 seconds |
| If the period = 0.005 s, what is the frequency? | f = 200 Hz |
| (Sound waves) Simple | Only one frequency (a pure tone) |
| (Sound waves) Complex | Multiple frequencies (all other sounds including speech) |
| Complex waves are made up of a combination of __________ | Simple waves |
| (Sound waves) Periodic | One pattern that repeats itself |
| (Sound waves) Aperiodic | No repetitive pattern (white noise) |
| Periodic waves and aperiodic waves can be __________ | Complex waves |
| Simple waves MUST be _________ | Periodic |
| The simplest form of sound vibration is produced by | Simple harmonic motion |
| Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) is ______ | Periodic |
| With Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM), the period of the oscillation _________ | Stays constant |
| With Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM), the frequency is __________ | Constant |
| The graphic representation if Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) is a _______ | Sine wave |
| In Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) the restoring force is | Proportional to its displacement |
| Elasticity (restoring force) can also be referred to as _________ | Potential energy |
| Inertia can be referred to as | Kinetic energy |
| Inertia and restoring forces (RF) vary continuously during cycle: ______ is stronger when ______ is weak (when times are more displaced); _____ is strong when _______ is weak (around rest position); Interplay between the two forces lets vibration persist | Restoring forces, inertia, inertia, resting forces |
| When displacement is maximum (the swing is far out to the left or right), _______ is strong, pushing the swing back _______ | Restoring forces, downward |
| When displacement is maximum (the swing is far out to the left or right), _______ is momentarily zero as the swing __________ | Inertia, stops and reverses |
| When displacement is zero, ________ is strong. The fastest movement occurs? | Inertia, The swing passes the rest position |
| When displacement is zero, ________ is momentarily zero when? | Resting forces, the swing passes through the rest position |
| (Tuning fork example) Initial impact (your finger touches it) starts movement (________) away from the rest | Displacement |
| (Tuning fork example) _______ allows displacement, but it also causes them to slow down and reverse direction. The tuning fork wants to resume its original shape | Elasticity |
| (Tuning fork example) As the prongs move outward again, they overshoot their original position due to _______ | Inertia |
| (Tuning fork example) However, ________ causes them to slow down, stop momentarily and reverse direction again | Elasticity (resting force) |
| (Tuning fork example) They pass their original position (due to inertia) and the entire pattern _________ | Repeats itself |
| The angle in SHM corresponds to the real angle through which the ball has moved in a circulation, this is called the _________ | Phase angle |
| The uniform _________ motion is intimately related to SHM | Circular |
| What is Newtons First Law of Motion? | When viewed in an inertial reference frame, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a net force |
| What is Newtons Second Law of Motion? | In an inertial reference frame, the vector sum of the forces F on an object is equal to the mass (m) of that object multiplied by the acceleration vector a of the object |
| What is Newtons Third Law of Motion? | When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body |
| Longitudinal waves | Particles vibrate alternately in the same or opposite direction or propagation (away from/back toward the source) |
| (Longitudinal Waves) Particles approaching and receding from each other create _________ | Pressure variations |
| (Longitudinal Waves) Rarefactions and _______ | Compression |
| (Longitudinal Waves) Sound in air is _________ | Longitudinal |
| _________ is longitudinal | Speech |
| Transverse waves | Particles vibrate at right angles to the direction of the wave propagation and particles bob up and down as the wave moves across the water |
| Complex sounds | Multiple waves patterns from simultaneous sounds |
| Multiple frequencies from complex sounds are transmitted | Simultaneously |
| (Complex sounds) _________ created by waves bouncing off of objects | Reflected waves |
| (Complex sounds) Adding _____________ together may yield a complex period sound | Periodic sounds |

| In phase | Waves crest and trough at same time |
| Out of phase | Waves crest and trough at different times |
