Seismic wave

1. Explain the difference between periodic and aperiodic waveforms. What are the visual differences? What are the characteristic sonic qualities of each? (2 points) Answer: A periodic waveform has repeatable patterns. Also, periodic waveforms have a tone. Most musical instruments have repeating periodic waveform. The periodic waveforms can also be found in bird sound and human vocal voice. However, an aperiodic waveform dose not have a repeating waveform and tone, like noise, the engine idling…

surfing" said Koda. I could feel the soft squishy sand as I got down on my stomach and rolled onto my board. The water picked my board up and I started paddling out to sea with Koda. The waves were got higher as we got deeper to sea. I could barely see Koda though the waves. Every time I tried to get over a wave it would always push me back to the beach. I kept trying and I finally got over…

sunset. The air was moist. I was in Maui, Hawaii. Everyone was yelling, screaming, hollering and having fun. Kids were flying their kites. People were eating pizza and icecream. Then suddenly, everything became quiet. Everyone was looking at me. The wave broke the silence as it jumped on me like a tackle in football. I felt like I had the ball because I kept getting tackled by the water! I was wobbling in the water and trying to find a way to get out. I was a squirmy little guy without a life…

vibrations . How sound work is the vibrations emit from whatever has made the sound in what is known as a longitudinal wave.A longitudinal wave is a wave that travels in a single direction. Next how can we hear sound. We can hear sound from a longitudinal wave for example when a tree falls and energy is released vibrations are created and a longitudinal wave is sent out but anyone might not hear the sound. In order for someone to hear the sound somebody would have to be on the other side. Most…

The idea that animals can predict and warn us of oncoming seismic disasters has been prevalent throughout history, from as far back as ancient Greece to the modern era (Ault 2016). This list of cases appears to be anecdotal, relying on subjective impressions and hindsight biased samples, but civilizations across…

evacuation procedures, even more people's lives would be at risk than in the Illapel earthquake. Examining the Waves Created by the Earthquake The damage caused by the earthquake would happen as a result of the waves the earthquake produces. Earthquakes produce two types of waves: longitudinal waves (often referred to as P-waves) and transverse waves (often called S-waves). Transverse waves cause most of the damage after an earthquake…

GRAVITATIONAL WAVES, HOW CLOSE ARE WE? PHSCS 222 Collective Paper November 23, 1999 #123 #272 #666 #895 The Detection of Gravitational Waves, How Close Are We? Since the realization that the general theory of relativity predicts gravitational waves, there have been attempts to actually detect these waves. Indirect observations have been made that support their existence but no direct measurement. This paper gives a brief explanation of gravitational waves and discusses the…

primarily based on Sinusoidal waves and how to use and apply this to represent and develop musical notes. In doing so, I had to use a variety of properties of trigonometry for the key aspects in this artifact. Such as, building an instrument and finding out the relationship between sound waves and the sinusoidal representation. Sinusoidal is any graph mainly consisted of either the sine or cosine function. The general formula for Sinusoidal waves is y=Acosfx+C.The height of the wave of this…

A Helmholtz resonator is a rigid container which has an opening to the air surrounding it. A common example of a Helmholtz resonator is a bottle because it has a set volume as well as having an opening which is open to the surrounding air. By considering the Helmholtz resonator as having a neck, such as the neck of a wine bottle, the dynamics of the system may be described. When energy is introduced near the opening of the bottle, for example blowing across it, some of the energy will vibrate…

Introduction The Korean pop culture, commonly referred to as K-pop, has undoubtedly been the center of attention of the teenagers especially in Asia; although lately, it has been moving its way to cross the West too. Joining the trend of Korean music are idol groups, Korean dramas, variety shows, and movies. With its growing popularity, a lot of people are imitating their idols’ fashion sense, hairstyles, and even the products they use. In addition, due to the captivating beat and eye-catching…
