Resumo de Recurso

Questão 1

Questão
A sound wave is different to a light wave in that a sound wave is
Responda
  • 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.

Questão 2

Questão
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...
Responda
  • 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.

Questão 3

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

Questão 4

Questão
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 ____________.
Responda
  • localize sound
  • identify sound frequency
  • concentrate sound
  • provide information about head movement

Questão 5

Questão
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.
Responda
  • low-frequency, high-frequency
  • high-frequency, low-frequency

Questão 6

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

Questão 7

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

Questão 8

Questão
Which one or more contribute to increased vocal AND facial attractiveness?
Responda
  • 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
