What is sound? The dictionary definition of sound is vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear. Sound, no matter what it may be, is always caused by vibrations, without vibrations there could be no sound. The vibrating body for example a speaker causes the air particles next to it to vibrate and these particles in turn cause the particles next to them to vibrate. Sound does not

together with hearing aids, while others are designed for those with normal hearing. It works like this: the person speaking wears or holds a transmitter microphone (or places this in the middle of a group). This transmitter picks up important speech sounds and uses harmless radio waves to send these to one or more FM receivers, which a child wears behind the ear (e.g. connected to their hearing aids). The result? The child hears the speaker’s words directly in their ears, without any distracting background

we used in the SRC Armagh music department. I will be talking about Microphones, Monitors and Recording Devices. Microphones Dynamic Microphones: Dynamic microphones are good for general-purpose use; they are robust and great at handing high sound pressure levels. Dynamic microphones do not require any batteries or external power such as phantom power. Dynamic microphones use a wire coil and a magnet to create an electrical audio signal, below is a small diagram illustrating this process. Dynamic

creates a map of the buildings interior by using a “high frequency pulse” to create an image. Fox tells Bruce that it works just like sonar. Well to be more accurate he should have called it radar because that’s what it is. Sonar is when you reflect sound waves off of objects to determine their location. Radar is when you use electromagnetic radiation usually at microwave frequencies to do the same thing. Since cellphones emit and receive e-m radiation in the radio wave/microwave frequency range (for

Throughout this novel, we not only see images drawn in our minds by Dante, but can in vision what Dante is going through from the sounds described in each Canto. We see Dante’s hearing and understanding develop to a more mature level as he faces different souls and hears their suffering. Our first instance of sounds imagery is in Canto III (3). Upon entering the

the wavelength reaching your ear? c. How about the speed of sound in the air between you and the locomotive? Answer: The speed of sound of the whistle does not depend on the frequency, all sounds travel at the same speed in a given medium. There is a change in frequency due to the motion of the source, called the Doppler Effect. The wavelength of the sound is the distance between successive compressions or rarefactions, if the sound itself does not change pitch, wavelength would not change.
