Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
A sound wave is different to a light wave in that a sound wave is
Respuesta
  • Produced by an oscillating object and a light wave is not.
  • Not capable of traveling through a vacuum.
  • Not capable of diffracting and a light wave is.
  • Capable of existing with a variety of frequencies and a light wave has a single frequency.

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
A sound wave is a pressure wave; regions of high (compressions) and low pressure (rarefactions) are established as the result of the vibrations of the sound source. These compressions and rarefactions result because sound...
Respuesta
  • is more dense than air and thus has more inertia, causing the bunching up of sound.
  • waves have a speed that is dependent only upon the properties of the medium.
  • is like all waves; it is able to bend into the regions of space behind obstacles.
  • is able to reflect off fixed ends and interfere with incident waves
  • vibrates longitudinally; the longitudinal movement of air produces pressure fluctuations.

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
The external ear consists of the part on the outside of the head called the ________ plus the ________, which leads to the eardrum.
Respuesta
  • ossicle, oval window
  • pinna, ear canal
  • cochlea, auditory nerve
  • round window, middle canal

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
The middle ear consists of a series of minuscule bones – the malleus, incus and stapes –connecting the eardrum to the cochlea. The primary function of the middle ear is to ____________.
Respuesta
  • localize sound
  • identify sound frequency
  • concentrate sound
  • provide information about head movement

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
The principle elements for converting sounds into neural activity are found on the basiliar membrane. This membrane vibrates in response to sound, with the apex displaced maximally by ______ sound, and the base displaced maximally by _______ sound.
Respuesta
  • low-frequency, high-frequency
  • high-frequency, low-frequency

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
What are auditory objects?
Respuesta
  • The 'building blocks' of an auditory scene
  • Particles in a vacuum
  • Any object which produces a frequency <89 dB
  • It is not known

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
What is a fundamental frequency (F0)?
Respuesta
  • 20 cycles per millisecond
  • The lowest frequency produced oscillation of an object
  • Large amplitude waves
  • A harmonic frequency

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
Which one or more contribute to increased vocal AND facial attractiveness?
Respuesta
  • sexual dimorphism
  • an increased “distance” to the average voice/face
  • a decreased “distance” to the average voice/face
  • there is no physical indicator of vocal attractiveness
  • BOTH sexual dimorphism and decreased distance to average
