in speech perception in hearing-impaired individuals. Previous studies have found that pitch perception is the most difficult aspect of music to distinguish for individuals with cochlear implants (CIs). Pitch is the highness or lowness of a sound. It is described as the perceived frequency of complex tones that is heard by the human ear (Drennan and Rubinstein‚ 2008). Pitch is also known as the rate of vibrations of a sine wave that travel through the air per second‚ and it is expressed in

distance is to be measured. A microcontroller is used to calculate the delay time between the transmitted signal and the received signal. ULTRASONIC WAVES: Ultra means “beyond” and sonic means “sound”. Ultrasonic refers to sound waves that have higher frequency than the human audible range. The sound waves whose frequency lies above the audible frequency of 20 kHz are called Ultrasonic waves. Ultrasonic sensors can detect small objects at considerable distances. They are able to disregard disturbing

world. However‚ there is also a flip side. Growing industry‚ an increasing number of vehicles and constant information overload causes a significant and underestimated problem – noise pollution. The term‚ noise pollution‚ is used to define unwanted sounds that are released into the environment. Various research studies have proven that noise pollution imposes a number of negative impacts on human mental and physical health. To understand the reasons behind their health conditions‚ people should consider

had to listen to three different types of music; there was a lullaby sang by the child’s parents‚ an ocean disk‚ and a round instrument‚ the gato box‚ mimicking the sound that a baby hears inside the womb. It was found that all three of the sounds lowered the babies’ heart rates‚ however‚ the parents singing was most effective. The sound of the parents singing also increased the amount of time the babies were quiet and alert. The ocean disk helped put the baby to sleep and the gato box helped improve

wave. a. longitudinal b. sound c. standing d. transverse Answer: A In longitudinal waves‚ particles of the medium vibrate to and from in a direction parallel to the direction of energy transport. If energy is transmitted along a medium from the east end to the west end‚ then particles of the medium would vibrate eastward and westward A sound wave is a longitudinal wave but not the answer since a wave which exhibits this characteristic is not necessarily a sound wave. 3.

that men‚ unlike animals‚ somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings‚ actions and things.
