Acoustic Variables
|
Pressure
Density
Distance
|
Sound Wave Parameters
|
Period Frequency amplitude power intensity speed wavelength
|
Period
|
The time it takes to complete a single cycle
|
Frequency
|
The number of certain events that occur in a perticular time duration
|
Frequency affects...
|
Penetration and resolution
|
Period and Frequency are
|
Recipricals
|
Period times Freq=
|
1
|
Amplitude
|
The difference between th average value and the max value of acoustic variable
|
Amplitude____as is travels through the body
|
Decreases
|
Peak-to-peak amplitude
|
Difference between max and min values of an acoustic variable
|
1/2 Peak-to-Peak Amplitude=
|
Amplitude
|
Power____as sound travels through the body
|
Decreases
|
Power is proportional to
|
Amplitude squared
|
If Amplitude is tripled then
|
Power is increased by nine
|
Intensity is proportional to
|
Power
