Longitudinal Waves

Sound waves are caused by disturbances in the air. These disturbances are usually caused by a vibrating object. In the case of the MTCC, the CTA train railroad is right above the MTCC. As the train is traveling along

These sounds are heard on a daily basis are being bent and altered in order for us to properly hear them. Engineers have used trigonometry in many rooms, that are created for the production of music, to help the sounds that are transferred to bounce off the walls. This motion helps the sounds to balance which makes it easier

In longitudinal waves the object doesn’t exactly follow the waves fully instead the object moves in a back and forth motion while the waves continues to move forward through the object. While in transverse waves the object doesn’t follow the waves as well and just moves up and down in the same position.

Rotational sound waves are sound waves that instead of moving in a crescent shape, they move in a helix pattern. This technology will help us to perform surgery better and make life saving procedures easier. The sonic in real life does not make the same noise as in the show, but it is still very cool. This advance in technology has led to other discoveries such as a device that can make small water droplets and other small objects float in mid air using sound

Burt Stephens 01-15-2015 Super Senses Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to tune your senses of sight and sound. Introduction: Sound is created when energy travels as waves of pressure through matter such as air, water, or even solid materials. Virtually everything that vibrates can yield sound. When something oscillates it pushes the particles around it, and those particles in turn push the air particles around them, moving the pulse of the vibration in all directions from the source.

During the experiment, many imprecise measurements were made and were attempted to correct. Because of this materialistic error, inaccurate measurements were calculated and observed during the lab due to fluctuating water levels, height of the lab bench which caused an unstable measuring surface, etc. Assuming the assumption of these miss-calculations, could lead to imperfect speeds in the wavelength/resonant, of which is not completely accurate numerically. During the experiment we noticed that group, although somewhat similar, had different measurements of where each resonance began and ended than others. This shows that the dependent variable of the experiment, being the speed, can easily be measured otherwise because if wrong measurements and recordings were input incorrectly within the formula (v = f × λ) inexact answers are undeniably easy to come by.

The sound waves that we encounter in our daily lives exist as pressure vibrations in the air, water, and solid mediums that they travel through - dissipating and becoming weaker as the displacement from the initial source increases. As sound is transmitted in the form of a travelling wave, the pressure varies and is dependent on both the displacement and time passed from its emission, according to the following equation:

In many districts, elementary and high schools start classes at about the same time each day. However, the students that attend these schools have very different sleep needs because they are at different stages in their development. Scientific research has shown that high schools should start classes later to address the major problems created by sleep deprivation among teenagers. By doing so, the health and learning abilities of adolescents would greatly improve.

Have you ever sat down and wondered why you can hear things? How sounds form? What are the different components? This all happens because of sound waves. Sound Waves are disturbances that go from one place to another in a medium. An example of this could be a Slinky. when it is all stretched out the slinky would be at equilibrium. Then a particle in the slinky moves in any direction and makes a disturbance. A pulse allows you to see the disturbance that is happening from both ends of the slinky . when a pulse is repeated continuously through the slinky then it is a wave.

“The vibrations of the tuning forks as they are passed over and around the body become carrier waves— specific sounds—that attract accumulated, disruptive energy patterns stored in the body,” she says.

There are two types of body waves: P-waves and S-waves. P-waves are primary waves. They travel the fastest and are longitudinal waves. A longitudinal wave is when the particle moves parallel to the direction of the wave velocity. For example, sound waves are P-waves. P-waves can travel through both solids and liquids. S-waves are secondary waves. They are slower and are transverse

Resonance, which is produced by oscillating air, is a “phenomenon that occurs when the frequency of a vibration forced on an object matches the object’s natural frequency and a dramatic increase in amplitude occurs” (Hewitt 521). Resonance causes the tubes of varying lengths to produce different pitches. Tubes used in musical instruments are either open at one end, or open at both (excluding the rain stick), which allows for nodes and antinodes to form within the tube. Nodes are “pivot” points on

Sound is very important in our lives, we need it to talk, sing, and for some animals for food. But have you ever wondered how sound works? Well, there are two main reasons because of energy and we are able to understand what does. without these two elements, sound would not be as important as it is.

 An acoustic wave can simply be described as a longitudinal wave. A longitudinal wave is a wave that vibrates and moves in the direction of its propagation. This means the medium is either in the same or opposite direction of the way the wave travels. Acoustic waves are a form of Mechanical longitudinal waves; these waves are otherwise known as compression waves or compressional waves. Compressional waves obviously produce compression, decompression, and rarefaction to travel.

I wanted to see if I can construct waves. Waves can move energy from one place to another. Energy has particles that pass from one to another. A slinky is a great toy that can demonstrate the two basic waves, Longitudinal and transverse. Longitudinal are waves
