Q

If the two media have a very big ∆Z, how does this affect the echo?

Q

True or false:

For incidence to be oblique, the angle must equal 90º.

A

False.

The angle must not equal 90º.

17
Q

What does oblique mean?

A

Not at right angles or perpendicular.

18
Q

What type of incidence is this?

A

Sound striking a boundary at normal incidence.

19
Q

What type of incidence is this?

A

Sound striking a boundary with oblique incidence.

20
Q

What is IRC?

A

Intensity Reflection Coefficient;

the proportion (percentage) of intensity

that is reflected.

21
Q

What is ITC?

A

Intensity Transmission Coefficient;

the proportion (percentage) of intensity

that travels on beyond the interface.

22
Q

What is a coeffiecient?

A

A number that relates variables;

a constant relationship.

23
Q

Name two ways to find IRC:

A
  1. You know the impedances of the two media
  2. You know the intensities of the two media
24
Q

As a sound beam strikes a boundary, energy is conserved, and 100% of the intensity must be accounted for. The following relationship applies:

A

100% = IRC (%) + ITC (%)

25
Q

If the reflected and transmitted intensities are added, the result must be the ____ ____.

A

Incident intensity

26
Q

If the IRC and ITC are added,

the result must ____ ____.

A

Must equal 100%

27
Q

A sound wave with a intensity of 50 W/cm2 strikes a boundary and is toally reflected.

What is the intensity reflection coefficient?

A

Since the wave is totally reflected, the intensity reflection coefficient is 100%.

28
Q

A sound wave with an intensity of 50 W/cm2 strikes a boundary and is totally reflected.

What is the reflected intensity?

A

Since the wave is totally reflected,

intensity is 50 W/cm2.

29
Q

What is the equation used to calculate

intensity reflection coefficient when given the impedances?

A
30
Q

What is the equation used to calculate

intensity transmitted coefficient when given the intensities?
