Continuous Wave Parameters

Front

What happens to the intensity as a sound wave travels through the medium?

Back

It decreases.

Front

What determines the period of an ultrasound wave?

Back

The ultrasound machine.

Front

Which unit corresponds to amplitude?

Back

Pascals.

Front

How is frequency related to period?

Back

Inversely.

Front

How is period related to frequency?

Back

Inversely.

Front

Define amplitude in the context of sound waves.

Back

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of points on a wave, which relates to the loudness of the sound.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency in a wave?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as one increases, the other decreases.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the speed of a wave?

Back

Speed = Wavelength × Frequency.

Front

What is the significance of the ultrasound machine in determining wave parameters?

Back

The ultrasound machine controls the frequency and period of the ultrasound waves.

Front

Explain the concept of sound intensity.

Back

Sound intensity is the power per unit area carried by a sound wave, typically measured in watts per square meter.
