Short example sentences

But seismic waves are like enormously powerful sound waves. (9 words)

A waveguide is a structure that guides waves, such as electromagnetic waves or sound waves. (15 words)

For sound waves in air, the speed of sound is 343 m/s (at room temperature and atmospheric pressure ). (19 words)

Longer example sentences

Assuming that sound waves are the most important excitations in helium-4 at low temperatures, he showed that helium-4 flowing past a wall would not spontaneously create excitations if the flow velocity was less than the sound velocity. (39 words)

Edison's method was to indent the sound waves on a piece of tin foil, while Bell and Tainter's invention called for cutting, or "engraving", the sound waves into a wax record with a sharp recording stylus. (38 words)

The auditory system includes the outer ears which collect and filter sound waves, the middle ear for transforming the sound pressure ( impedance matching ), and the inner ear which produces neural signals in response to the sound. (36 words)

Example sentences (20)

Love waves have transverse motion (movement is perpendicular to the direction of travel, like light waves), whereas Rayleigh waves have both longitudinal (movement parallel to the direction of travel, like sound waves) and transverse motion.

Water pressure also affects sound propagation: higher pressure increases the sound speed, which causes the sound waves to refract away from the area of higher sound speed.

A waveguide is a structure that guides waves, such as electromagnetic waves or sound waves.

For waves that propagate in a medium, such as sound waves, the velocity of the observer and of the source are relative to the medium in which the waves are transmitted.

Acoustic waves Acoustic or sound waves travel at speed given by : or the square root of the adiabatic bulk modulus divided by the ambient fluid density (see speed of sound ).

Edison's method was to indent the sound waves on a piece of tin foil, while Bell and Tainter's invention called for cutting, or "engraving", the sound waves into a wax record with a sharp recording stylus.

The auditory system includes the outer ears which collect and filter sound waves, the middle ear for transforming the sound pressure ( impedance matching ), and the inner ear which produces neural signals in response to the sound.

Millions of oscillating sound waves such as p-waves, g-modes, and f-modes are produced by that seismic commotion.

But seismic waves are like enormously powerful sound waves.

History Audio signals are electronic representations of sound waves — longitudinal waves which travel through air, consisting of compressions and rarefactions.

The Sun is made of plasma rather than ordinary gas, so it supports several types of waves analogous to sound waves in air.

Meyer Sound was brought in to engineer a subwoofer that could amplify the low frequency sound waves commonly used by the band in its music.

Assuming that sound waves are the most important excitations in helium-4 at low temperatures, he showed that helium-4 flowing past a wall would not spontaneously create excitations if the flow velocity was less than the sound velocity.

Because of the way sound waves travel, the sound pit produces first bounces off the back bleachers and then is heard by the ensemble.

Each frame has a unit block of sound, which are broken into basic sound waves and represented by numbers which, after Fourier Transform, can be statistically evaluated to set to which class of sounds it belongs.

For sound waves in air, the speed of sound is 343 m/s (at room temperature and atmospheric pressure ).

For sound waves, Lord Rayleigh published a full mathematical analysis of propagation modes in his seminal work, “The Theory of Sound”.

For the passengers and crew, when a vehicle goes supersonic the sound cuts off as the sound waves are no longer able to keep up with the vehicle.

Function Sound transfer Ordinarily, when sound waves in air strike liquid, most of the energy is reflected off the surface of the liquid.

It originally served to conduct actual sound waves from a purely mechanical "pickup" called a sound box or reproducer to a so-described "amplifying" horn.
