    Sound Waves in Music Intervals Introduction Mechanical Wave Sound is a mechanical wave. It has an original source that is a vibrating object. It travels in a medium through particle-to-particle interaction. Longitudinal Wave In a sound wave, the particles in the medium oscillate in a direction parallel to direction of energy transport. This results in compressions and rarefactions in the particles- Lower pressure causes molecules to expand into a large region of space called rarefactions, and…

    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…

    The s-wave is wave A. The p-wave is always going to be faster than the s-wave. Wave B starts at the velocity of about 8 km/s and wave A starts at about 4 km/s. Since wave A is moving slower, it is the s-wave. Wave A also reflected off the outer core and wave B refracted. The p-wave is wave B. The p-wave is always going to move faster than the s-wave. Wave B starts at the velocity of about 8 km/s and wave A starts at about 4 km/s. Since wave B is moving faster, it is the p-wave. The…

    RADIOWAVE OUTDOOR PROPAGATION MODELS General definition: • They are empirical mathematical formulation for the characterization of radio wave propagation as a function of frequency, distance and other conditions. • These models predict the path loss (i.e. the reduction in power density of an electromagnetic wave as it propagates through space or underground) of a transmitter and also the effective coverage area of transmitter. We know that when a signal travels from a wireless channel, it…

    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…

    energy that is contained by waves emanating to shore from large bodies of water, such as seas or ocean coasts. There are several reasons why this energy is so promising, mainly because it is overwhelmingly abundant throughout our oceans, and because high tides, low tides, and weather patterns that would create large movements of water through natural cycles and storm surges are very predictable in their occurrences. The only question still up in the air about obtaining wave energy is if the…
