what does one of the acoustic rhythmically oscillate
variables have to do in order to be a
sound wave?
sound waves are also known as acoustic
________________________________waves
1. Period

7. Propagation speed
perpendicular to the wave propagation
How do particles move in a
transverse waves? (ex: hold end of string and shake up and down)
in the same direction that the wave
how do particles move in longitudinal
waves? propagates. sound is a longitudinal wave.
a pair of waves that have their peaks at the
same time and same location
what are considered in-phase waves?
what are considered out-of-phase a pair of waves that have their peaks at different points and at different times
waves?
constructive interference
what kind of interference occurs with
in- phase waves?
destructive interference
what kind of interference occurs with
out- phase waves?
when more than one sound beam travel in a medium and can arrive at
what is interference (for sound)? the same place at the same time. the waves then loose their
individual characteristics and combine to form a single wave.
