Physics Flashcards
the ability of certain materials to generate an electric charge in response to applied mechanical stress.
PIEZOELECTRIC EFFECT
the speed and the direction of motion of an object.
velocity
measures the number of wave cycles (or frequency) passing through a given point in a second.
velocity
the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time
frequency
the number of cycles or vibrations undergone during one unit of time by a body in periodic motion
frequency
distance from the “crest” (top) of one wave to the crest of the next wave
wavelength
peak of a wave
crest
λ is called the
lambda
pattern of disturbance caused by the movement of energy traveling through a medium as it propagates away from the source of the sound
sound wave
refers to any reduction in the strength of a signal
attenuation
echoes and vibrations are produced when sound waves are:
reflected or reflection
sound waves penetrate and produce
heat
used to describe the reflection and transmission of acoustic waves at interfaces of two materials with mismatched impedances
acoustic mismatch
the subjective perception of sound pressure
sound intensity notation
Italian physicist who used soundwaves to determine position of objects
LAZARO SPALLAZANI
who studied about bats who used sound to navigate?
LAZARO SPALLAZANI
when was sound waves as navigating tool discovered?
1794
who invented first machine that could generate soundwaves ?
JACQUES AND PIERRE CURIE
when did the french scientist discovered that the electrical currents to quartz crystal they produce sound, more specifically, ultrasonic waves?
1880
russian physicist who conceptualize using ultrasound for imaging techniques
SY SOKOLOV
When the physicist of russia used the method to find imperfections in metallic structures than for saving lives through diagnostics?
1928
who was the first to use ultrasound imaging techniques?
GEORGE LUDWIG
when was the sound waves first used as an imaging technique to detect gallstones and masses/
1949
Who discovered the transmission ultrasound investigation of the brain provides the first published work on medical ultrasonics?
