Sound

Frage 1 von 4

1

How is sound produced?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Through the creation of electrical energy which travels though through an elastic medium

  • Through the displacement of an elastic medium

  • Through the creation of mechanical energy that breaks down an elastic medium

  • Through the displacement of a mechanical medium

Erklärung

Frage 2 von 4

1

When does a) compression and b) rarefaction occur?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • a) When there is a reduction in pressure at a point in the elastic medium
    b) When there is an increase in pressure at a point in the elastic medium

  • a) When there is an increase in pressure at a point in the elastic medium
    b) When there is a decrease in pressure at a point in the elastic medium

  • a) When there is no pressure change at a point in the elastic medium
    b) When there is a decrease in pressure at a point in the elastic menium

  • a) When there is an increase in pressure at a point in the elastic medium
    b) When there is no pressure change at a point in the elastic medium

Frage 3 von 4

1

How is the sound transmitted across the elastic medium (to the ear)?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • It's propagated along a wave of mechanical energy until it is funneled into the ear by the pinnae

  • It is propagated along a wave of neural energy until it is funneled into the ear by the pinnae

  • It is propagated along a wave of neural energy until it makes contact with the pinnae resulting in an action potential

  • It is propagated along a wave of mechanical energy until it makes contact with the pinnae resulting in an action potential

When can the process of sound transmission occur?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • When there is carbon dioxide present to fuel the energy

  • When there is an elastic medium present such as in water or in a vacuum

  • In a vacuum only

  • When there is en elastic medium present
