78
Q

intensity relates to?

- explain

A

how hard a wave vibrates
- if a greater force is applied to air molecules, they will move further from their points of rest, causing greater compressions and rarefaction, increasing the particle displacement, and therefore the amplitude (intensity)

increased force = increased ____

A

amplitude (intensity)

80
Q

psychoacoustically, intensity is perceived as ____

loudness

81
Q

the distance the mass moves from the point of rest is called?

82
Q

why do we use the decibel?

A

because the range of human hearing is huge (20 micropascals to 200,000,000 micropascals)

A

20

93
Q

96
Q

the normal average person needs ____ dB SPL to barely hear a 250 Hz tone

they need ____ db SPL to barely hear a 1000 Hz tone

A
  • 26.5

- 7.5

97
Q

why don’t we use dB SPL in audiometric testing?

dB HL is a ___ reference

  • 0dB HL is what sound?
  • 0 dB HL = ?
A

normative

  • the softest sound average person can detect 50% of the time
