Pitch | | The science of sound and it's interactions. |
Ultrasonic | | Part of the ear that contains hundreds of nerve cells attached nerve fibers. |
Infrasonic | | Liquid portion of the ear that receives vibrations from the middle ear. |
Doppler Effect | | Blending of pitches to produce sound quality. |
Intensity | | Property of sound which depends on frequency. |
Acoustics | | Note produced at the lowest frequency that a standing wave occurs. |
Sound Quality | | Part of the human ear that funnels sound waves into the ear. |
Timbre | | Sound above the range of human hearing. |
Fundamental Tone | | Blending of pitches to produce sound; timbre. |
Overtone | | Sound below the range of human hearing. |
Sonar | | Change in sound or light that occurs whenever there is motion between the source and it's observer. |
Outer Ear | | The amount of energy carried by a wave indicated by the amplitude of the wave. |
Middle Ear | | Part of the ear that receives vibrations from the ear drum and contains the hammer, anvil, and stirrup. |
Inner Ear | | Stretched membrane in the ear that vibrates at the same frequency as the sound waves that enter the ear. |
Cochlea | | Technique of using sound waves to measure distance, sound navigation, and ranging. |
Ear Drum | | Tone produced at frequencies higher than the fundamental at which a standing wave occurs. |
