RESUME

Units of area = cm2, ft2
Units of volume = cm3, ft3
Type of wave: heat, sound, magnetic, light.
-All waves carry energy from one location to another

Sound waves (acoustic waves): Travels through a medium Are mechanical Are longitudinal Generally travels in a straight line Are best described as a series of compressions and rarefactions.

Diagnostic ultrasound: uses mechanical and longitudinal waves.
Acoustic propagation properties: the effect of a medium upon the sound wave.
Biologic effect: the effect of the sound wave upon the biologic tissue through which passes.
Acoustic variables:
Pressure: concentration of force in an area. (Pascal, Lb/in2, N/m2) Pressure = force applied Area
Density: concentration of mass in a volume. (Kg/m3, Lb/in3)
Distance: measures of particle motion. (cm, feet, mile)
Temperature (in some books): concentration of heat energy. (Degrees)

Transverse waves: particle moves in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction than the waves propagates.
Longitudinal waves: particles moves in the same direction that the waves propagates.
In phase waves: their peak (maximum value) and the minimum value 0ccur at the same time and the same location.
Out of phase waves: their peaks occur at different time and location.
Two out of phase waves with the same amplitude cancel each other.
Interference: multiples beams arrived at an identical location at exactly the same time (waves loses their individual properties and combine to create a new one. (Constructive or destructive)
Interference of waves with different
Constructive interference: Two in phase waves form one

    Audition, or the sense that allows one to hear via the perception of the amplitude and frequency of sound waves, was the sense tested during the course of this experiment. The mechanical processes involved in hearing include air vibrations that enter the outer ear and are converted to fluid vibration in the inner ear, which are then transduced to electrical signals sent to the brain for interpretation. (Connelly, 2014) Any time an object vibrates it creates sound waves that move the air molecules around it causing pressure changes at various speeds presenting as sound waves. The two characteristics of sound waves, frequency and amplitude create the pitch and loudness quality of the sound. Frequency, or the number of waves occurring per unit of time, creates the high or low pitch of the sound and is measured in Hertz. Amplitude, or the height of the sound waves create the loudness or intensity of the given sound and are measured in Decibels. Humans can perceive frequencies ranging between 20 and 20,000 Hertz as audible sounds. (Connelly, 2014)…

    When water rushes up a beach it is called a swash. And when it drains back down a beach it is called a backwash. When a swash has created more energy than the backwash, materials from the water is carried and deposited on to the beach. This usually happens with low waves as it runs gently up the beach allowing the materials to be deposited…

    As unfortunate I am, who fails on dreaming inside the boundaries of reality, I dream that the American nation will one day rise and live it to its creed:” We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” – Martin Luther King Jr. King stated these words, in 1963 in Washington D.C., on his famous speech “I have a Dream.” After experiencing the American nation and having learned about its literature and history, I get the idea that Affirmative Action is still necessary as Americans tend to not show enough equality and diversity. To me, there exists only one definition of affirmative action, which is race and gender neutral against the actual discrimination by privileging the minorities, in order to make up for past injustices. I say this, as most Americans describe affirmative action differently, causing problematic controversy. Americans still lacks on equality and diversity in their universities and workforce, which means that affirmative action is essential for further positive changes towards them.…
