Attribute Power Definition The energy transported per unit time by the oscillations of a particular wave Unit Watt (W) SI Unit kg.m2/s3 The power is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy in a wave Generally proportional to the amplitude squared and frequency...
Velocity (propagation speed) is the speed through a given medium It is determined solely by the characteristics of the medium: It does not depend on the source of sound or its frequency The density and compressibility of a medium are the key determinants Each body...
High-frequency sound waves greater than 20 kHz Medical ultrasound uses waves of very high frequency, in the range of 2-20 MHz The human audible range is 20-20,000...
A form of mechanical energy transmitted as a pressure wave through a given medium by the vibration of molecules. It is transmitted as a longitudinal wave, made up of molecules oscillating in the direction of propagation Longitudinal waves create compressions and...
