Sound Wave
Total number of squared on sound cards.
10,000
increased by 10
is a unit of measure for relative sound intensity.
Decibel
Sound measurement for traffic on a busy street?
80 (dB)
Pattern for Sound Intensity?
multiplied by 10
is a measurement of how much sound energy passes through an area in a certain amount of time as it spreads out from the source.
Sound Intensity
Threshold of pain for human ear?
If the decibel for a certain sound was 140 how many zeros should the sound intensity contain?
14
the highness or lowness of a sound
Pitch
What is another way to write 100/10,000?
1/100
What would an increase of 20 dB mean in terms of change in intensity?
It would increase by 100.
the number of times that something (such as a sound wave or radio wave) is repeated in a period of time (such as a second)
Frequency
How would you say this number?
