There's no way to put this delicately...rumor has it that a certain low frequency tone can cause a person to, well, lose it! The Mythbusters put this so called "BROWN NOTE" to the test. Watch the clip at right (and notice their lower-half wardrobe choice!), and tell me everything you observe about the following points.
For each, make sure to reference any relevant characteristics of sound (period, frequency, wavelength, wavespeed, or amplitude/pressure level).
1. The huge speaker drivers (the vibrating part of the speaker) are oscillating back and forth. Based on what you see them doing, what characteristics will the sound wave have that they produce? Why?
2. Toward the end, the Mythbusters and the audio guys mention an impact the sound waves had on Adam's breathing (Adam the Mythbuster, not Feldman!). What was this impact and why did it happen?
Lastly, answer this...why would low frequency waves (rather than high frequency) be more likely to have this physical effect on you? (Harken back to "Hey, Baby. How you Doin'?")
1. The speakers will create a wavelength with a high amplitude, low frequency, large wavelength, and a large period.
ReplyDelete2. The air he is breathing is coming into his lungs in different pressure waves. Some of the air he is breathing is compressed, while the other half is low pressure. This is screwing with his breathing.
3. The low frequency carries more energy per wave allowing the wave to penetrate the body more easily.
1. Based on what the speakers are doing, the sound wave that will be produced will have a very long period and a low amplitude at a high frequency.
ReplyDelete2. The sound made adams breathing less smooth than normal because he is inhaling in sound waves as they compress and rarefact.
3. Low frequency waves are more likely to have a greater effect on you because the areas of compression are more spaced out so that your body has time to readjust to its surroundings before being impacted by the next wave. High frequency penetrates through the body without impacting it because it concentrates its energy in a smaller area.
1. The sound wave that comes out of the speakers will have a very low amplitude. Moreover, these waves will also have a low frequency; therefore, because period is the inverse of frequency, the waves will have a very large period. Lastly, these waves will have a large wavelength.
ReplyDelete2. Sound is a result of compressed and not compressed waves with different pressure. Adam has more difficulty breathing because the pressure of the waves going into his mouth has different compression and pressure levels.
3. Low frequency waves occur less frequently, and therefore store more energy. Because there is more energy stored over this longer wave, it is capable of penetrating more. Low frequency waves therefore are capable of traveling farther distances because they are not absorbed by the surrounding air like high frequency waves are. :)
1. The speakers here will produce a wave that does not have a large amplitude, but the period will be very long.
ReplyDelete2. Ultimately Adam had trouble breathing since the sound waves were moving towards his mouth as he received oxygen. From this the pressure caused by the sound waves made him have trouble actually receiving the oxygen.
3. More energy is stored within the low frequency waves since she finish a certain period a lot slower, which allows it to penetrate much further than a regular frequency wave.
1. Based on what I see the speaker drivers doing, the sounds wavelength will have a low frequency with a large period, and a bigger/higher amplitude.
ReplyDelete2. The impact the sound waves had on Adam was due to pressure. Sound waves travel in compressions waves, which are waves of contacted and non-compacted air. So as Adam breathes he will come across both compacted and non-compacted air with a variety of pressures; therefore disturbing his breathing.
3. Low frequency waves have this physical effect on people because low frequency waves carry more energy over a longer/wider wavelength. So, if you combine all the energy stored in the slower (less frequent) wave there will be a bigger, more powerful effect on people.
1.) The speakers will produce a sound wave with a low amplitude and low frequency which will cause the wave to also increase in period and wavelength.
ReplyDelete2.) Since the sound wave has areas of compression and then rarefaction. Adam has trouble breathing because of the different pressures.
3.) Low frequency waves would more likely have a physical effect on you because low frequency waves carry more energy since they occur less often. Since they carry more energy they are capable of penetrating the body more powerfully.
1. The sound wave that the huge speakers produce will have a low frequency with a large amplitude. Also, the sound waves will have both a large wavelength with a large period.
ReplyDelete2. Adam said that his breathing became abnormal and this is due to the different pressures waves of the air he is inhaling. Some of the air is compressed while the rest of the air is not.
3. Due to the fact that more energy is stored over a longer period of time with low frequency waves, this allows the wave to penetrate the body more easily.
1. The speakers look to have a large wavelength. If the wavelength is longer, you will have a increase in the period, and a decrease in frequency, as they are all connected. The amplitude will also be large.
ReplyDelete2. As the audio guy said, the wavelength was so large that it was physically moving the air. The air has different pressures as the sound wave travels, first compressing, then rarefaction. Difference in pressures caused Adam's breathing to change.
3. Low frequency waves would have more of this effect because of their bigger wavelength. The wavelength is able to "pack a bigger punch", transfer more kinetic energy, than one with a higher frequency and shorter wavelength.
1. First, the drivers on the speakers oscillate back and forth because they are producing sound waves with relatively high amplitudes and a low frequency. Since its a package deal, if the frequency is lower, the wavelength and period will be relatively large.
ReplyDelete2. The reason he has trouble breathing is because the sound waves entering his body have different pressures. His body can't get used to a single one and thus makes it harder for him to breathe.
3. If both a high frequency wave and a low frequency wave have the same period and wavelength, the lower frequency wave will have to carry more energy. Since these waves have more energy, they have a bigger impact on the human body compared to a higher frequency wave.
1. the drivers on the speakers are moving in such a manner that the concussion waves produced will have low amplitude with long wavelength shorter periods and more frequency.
ReplyDelete2. the audio guy said the wavelengths coming in different frequencies of concussion would enter Adam's lungs causing the air he intakes to be either compressed more than the relative air around adam or the same as the air around Adam.
3. the longer wavelengths are better for penetrating as its just one long wave as opposed to multiple smaller waves the larger way is better for going through a denser medium.
1.The speakers here will have a long period, but they will have a wave that does not have a large amplitude.
ReplyDelete2.The impact the sound waves had on Adam was because of pressure. He had a problem breathing because the sound waves were moving towards his mouth as he received oxygen, so the pressure from the sound waves made it difficult for him to take in oxygen.
3. The Low frequency waves would have a greater effect because of their longer wavelength which allows it to transfer more kinetic energy then the higher frequency with the shorter wavelength.
1. The drivers on the speakers are oscillating in a way that suggests that the waves being produced are waves with shorter frequencies, and longer wave lengths, period, and a larger amplitude.
ReplyDelete2. Due to the difference in pressure in the patterns of compression and rarefaction, the air must move differently while the different compression levels move through it, which causes a feeling of pounding on his chest and while he breathes.
3. This feeling is more effectively caused by waves with longer wave lengths and periods because the energy delivered in the longer waves is delivered in one blow, where as the energy delivered in shorter waves is delivered in many smaller blows, such as punching someone once very hard or punching someone many times but with smaller amounts of force.
As the speakers oscillate they produce compression waves with low frequency, but bigger period and higher amplitude.
ReplyDeleteThe sound waves were so powerful they could move and even compress the air. While one could probably adapt to this, the frequency was constantly changing and therefore his body could not adapt as if he were going from the mountains to the beach. The impurity and alteration of frequencies causes a more difficult (if even possible) adaptation process.
As we learned, lower frequencies can penetrate things more easily and faster because of their larger wavelength. For "the brown note" to be achieved your anal sphincter would have to open up or even get damaged. I would imagine that would be pretty difficult and thus you would need a more powerful frequency.
1) The vibrating part of the speaker, or the drivers, are oscillating back and forth; therefore the amplitude will be bigger, the frequency will be smaller/ lower but the wavelength and period will be bigger because frequency, wavelength, and period are all a “package deal”, if you alter one characteristic, you alter the other characteristics in the “package deal”.
ReplyDelete2) The impact that the sound waves had onto Adam’s breathing was because he was taking in different types of air waves, some compressed and some rarefaction, which means that there is different pressures of air that Adam is inhaling, making it more difficult for him to breathe.
3) Low frequency waves moves “stuff” more easily because there is more energy contained in the larger/longer packet which allows the lower frequency to penetrate more through the object, thing, etc. High frequency waves are more easily deflected because the energy is divided up into smaller packets, whereas low frequency waves contain larger/longer packets.
1. The sound waves had really long wavelengths, low frequency, low amplitude, and a big period.
ReplyDelete2. The loud sound made it more difficult for Adam so breath because he was breathing in the sound waves that compress and rarefact, making his breathing uneven and bumpy.
3. Low frequency waves have more power in each wave because there are less waves that have greater wavelengths in each wave. The a lot slower in each period making them have much more energy in each wave.
1. Due to the fact that the vibrations are moving back and forth, we can assume that the amplitude will be bigger and the wavelength and period will also be bigger. The frequency on the other hand with decreases because of the direct relationship of the three factors in the package deal.
ReplyDelete2. The sound waves had an effect on Adam's breathing because he was inhaling the different air waves. The two different air waves consisted of compressed and rarefraction, so his breathing became more difficult to endure.
3. Low frequency waves move the stuff more powerfully because of the higher amounts of energy in a smaller wave that, overall, end up with a increased wavelength. Therefor, the frequency would need to contain larger packets causing them to exert more power.
1.Because the speakers are oscillating they produce low frequency compression waves; however the amplitude gets bigger. The wave length and period becomes bigger because frequency, wavelength and period are all linked together, meaning that if one is changed, the others will change as well.
ReplyDelete2.Because the sound waves were so powerful, they were able to compress and move the air. It impacted Adam’s breathing because he was taking in different types of air waves. These waves were either compressed or rarefaction. It was more difficult for him to breathe because the air had different pressures.
3.Low frequency waves occur less frequently because they can store more energy, the energy being stored causes the wave to be longer. This allows the sound waves to penetrate more quickly and easily. Thus, low frequency waves can travel farther than high frequency waves because they are not being effected by the air around them. High frequency waves can be easily deflected because their energy is divided.
1. The shaking part of the speaker drivers are osculating back and forth and because of this, the amplitude with be larger, the frequency will be lower; however, due to the frequency and amplitude being lower, the wavelength and period will be bigger. Wavelength, period, and Frequency all change according to each other and that’s why they are different.
ReplyDelete2. Due to the sound, Adam began breathing more difficultly, heavily and uneasily. This happened because he was inhaling the sound waves, which include compressions and rarefactions. This means that there are different pressures of air that he is taking in which causes this deep breathing to occur.
3. Low frequency waves moves the stuff a lot easier because there is a lot more power per wave because there are fewer waves, which consist of greater wavelengths per wave. Each period is a lot slower making them have a lot more energy in each wave.
1. The speakers will have low frequency, high amplitude, and both a long wave length and a bigger period.
ReplyDelete2. Adam was breathing in an unstable air mass. The speakers were so powerful that when he would inhale sure he would both inhale the rarefaction and compression portion of the waves. This made I hard for him to breath.
3. The smaller amplitude waves have a greater wave length. The wave is moving slower but, has a lot more energy. The larger wavelength Will have more power.
1. The oscillation creates a wave with a bigger amplitude and lower frequency. Since the period is the inverse of frequency, the period is relatively bigger. Also, since period, frequency, and wavelength are all a “package deal,” there is a bigger wavelength.
ReplyDelete2. The waves are influencing his breathing because of the different air pressure. He is inhaling the waves of compression and rarefaction, causing him to breath differently.
3. Since there are fewer cycles in lower frequency waves, each wave contains a bigger impact on what ever they are hitting. Just like the “hey baby how you doing,” the higher frequency has more little waves (smaller area) hitting the baby, so it doesn’t penetrate as much. It is similar to how one large punch as a bigger impact than a lot of smaller ones.
1. The oscillation makes up a wave that has a larger amplitude but a lower frequency. The period relatively bigger, we know this because it is always inverse the frequency. There's also a bigger wavelength (referring to how they are all related).
ReplyDelete2. The waves influence Adam's breathing because he is inhaling the waves of rarefaction and compression with causes him to breath differently. It ultimately affects him because the waves have a different pressure than he's used to.
3. There are less cycles in waves with lower frequency and each wave will have a bigger impact on whatever its hitting. The higher frequency has more little waves that have a smaller area so it doesn’t penetrate as much (just like "Hey Baby, yeah". It's the same as how many smaller punches are less significant than that ONE BIG PUNCH. High frequency can be accepted and distributed because the waves energy is divided up more.
1. The oscillation creates a wave that has a bigger amplitude, yet a lower frequency. Because a period is the inverse of frequency, the period appears larger because they are all related.
ReplyDelete2. The waves impact Adam's breathing because he is taking in both rarefaction and compression waves which his body isn't used to so it causes him to breathe abnormally.
3. Because fewer cycles occur in lower frequency waves, each wave has more of an impact on whatever it is making contact with. The higher frequency has more little waves within a smaller area, so it doesn’t penetrate as heavily, like how one large punch does more harm that a lot of little weak ones.
1. The sounds from the speakers produce very low amplitude and the waves will have a long period. They will also have a large wavelength.
ReplyDelete2. Part of the air that Adam is breathing is compressed, while the rest is at a lower pressure. The sound results from compressed and non-compressed waves. This causes a larger wavelength.
3. Low frequency waves are more likely to have a greater effect on you because lower frequency waves carry more energy through a longer/slower wavelength. Through combining all energy in a less frequent wave, there will be a greater effect on you.
1. The wave has a higher amplitude, and a longer wave length and period, and a lower frequency. This is due to the oscilation.
ReplyDelete2. Adam's breathing is different because he is breathing air with both compressed and lower pressure areas, these are the rarefaction and compressed areas. This made it difficult for him to inhale the sound waves.
3. The waves with a lower frequency can have a bigger impact because there are less little waves and more larger waves. Each individual wave in a low frequency wave carries more energy in longer waves. Where as in a higher frequency wave there are shorter wave lengths which carry less energy per wave.
1. The drivers on the speakers are oscillating in such a way that the concussion waves produced will obtain a low amplitude with long wavelengths, shorter periods, and more frequency.
ReplyDelete2. Due to the difference in pressure in the patterns of compression and rarefaction, the air must move differently while it passes the different compression levels. This causes a pounding feeling on Adam’s chest while he breathes.
3. The longer wavelengths are better for penetrating and hold more power as its just one long wave and is better for going through a denser medium. Contradicting, the energy delivered in shorter waves is delivered in many smaller blows. An example of this is, punching someone once very hard or punching someone many times but with smaller amounts of force.
1. Because the speakers are creating a deep baritone sound, the sound waves will have a low frequency, with a longer wavelength and a longer period and a high amplitude and high pressure level. The slow yet strong oscillation and deep sound probably means that it will have the characteristics described above.
ReplyDelete2. With their long wavelengths, the sound waves are physically moving air in and out of Adam's body as he breathes because of the alternating pressure. Some of the air he breathes is compressed while some of it is refracted.
3. The low frequency sound waves allow for less cycles in a given amount of time but for each cycle to be more powerful and penetrate more.
1. The speakers oscillating cause concussion waves that will have a high amplitude, longer wavelength, shorter periods, and low frequency.
ReplyDelete2. The impact to Adam's breathing is caused by the constant change in the pressure of the waves and the pattern of compression and rarefaction therefore making it harder for him to breathe normally.
3. Low frequency waves have a larger impact because low frequency waves have a longer wavelength. Although with high frequency you have more little waves, the little waves have less of an impact than one larger wave because a larger wave can carry out longer and penetrate deeper with more energy than a high frequency wave.
1. When the speakers were oscillating back and forth the main characteristics that caused such movement was because of the high amitude, long time period and wavelength as well as,
ReplyDeletea low frequency level.
2. As Adam breathes, the dynamic between his actual breath and the different sound waves he is inhaling in the moment, cause his lungs to contract unormally due to the different pressure waves. Some of the air causes rarefaction waves while some air is being compressed.
3. When Adam explained that he felt an intense (drum-like) beating on his chest, in reality, he was actually experiencing low frequencies penetrating through his body accurately; causing his body to feel corrupted with endless amounts of uncomfortable energy.
1) When the speakers oscillate,they cause the waves to be bigger in amplitude and lower in frequency. The wavelength would also be longer.
ReplyDelete2) Adam's change in breathing was caused by the different amount of pressure by the sound waves. Those waves were constantly compressing than going through rarefaction. Therefore his breathing was caused by the changes in pressure.
3) The lower the frequency the longer the wavelength would be, therefore low frequency waves have a greater effect. Each wave has a larger impact on the things that they hit. Similar to the warm up, the higher the frequency the more little waves there are so it does not go through as much.
1. The sound produced by the speakers will have a large amplitude, large wavelength, large period, and thus low frequency.
ReplyDelete2. The sound waves will affect his breathing in two ways. First off, the fact that some of the air he is breathing in is compressed while some isn't will cause difficulties in breathing due to the increased difficulty of creating a high/low pressure differential between his lungs and the surroundings. Additionally, the pressure that the sound waves exert on his chest will make it harder for it to expand, further making it harder to create a low pressure zone inside his chest, as expansion is limited.
3. The low frequency waves are more likely to have an effect on him because waves with a low frequency have a larger "stored" energy per wave, meaning that they can penetrate his body more deeply.
1.The oscillation of the speakers create a wave that has a larger amplitude, however, the frequency is lower. The frequency is lower due to the deep sound projected by the speaker. This would mean that the period would have to be relatively higher due to the inverse relationship between period and frequency. The lower frequency also causes the wavelength to be longer even though the wave is traveling slower.
ReplyDelete2. The impact on Adam's breathing was due to pressure. Adam was inhaling air that had the combination of compression and rarefaction, which ultimately caused him to breathe abnormally.
3. Low frequency waves would be more likely to have this physical effect on you because low frequency waves store more energy in a given wave. This energy in the low frequency waves allow more more penetration and are much more powerful than high frequency waves. High frequency waves are much smaller and less powerful, therefore causing less penetration.
1. The speakers create a wavelength with a high amplitude and a low frequency, as well as a large wavelength and a large period.
ReplyDelete2. Adam had difficulty breathing due to pressure. He inhaled air that was a combination of compression and rarefaction, which lead him to breathe abnormally.
3. Low frequency waves would most likely have this effect, because waves with a lower frequency can effect his breathing on a deeper level.
1. The oscillation of the speakers causes the waves to have a lower frequency, yet a larger amplitude, wave length, and period.
ReplyDelete2.The pressure of the sound waves caused a change in Adam's breathing. The waves he was inhaling were constantly compressing and refracting, which made it harder for him to breath normally.
3.Lower frequency waves are more likely to have more of an effect on you because because waves of lower frequency store more energy. Therefore, these waves cause more power and penetration, which is why Adam feels a "drum like" beating on his chest.
1. The wave produced by the speaker will have a high amplitude, large wavelength, low frequency, and a large period.
ReplyDelete2. Adam's breathing abnormalities happened because of the changing pressures from the large sound waves. The waves physically moved air in and out of Adams lungs.
3. Lower frequency waves can penetrate through objects easier, also low frequency waves store more kinetic energy.
1. The waves will have a long wavelength, a decently quick frequency, and a high amplitude. The wave speed is also pretty fast. They will have a long wavelength because to get more power in each wave, they have to have a longer wavelength rather than a faster frequency. Also, the amplitude is high because they want it to have a noticeable impact on Adam.
ReplyDelete2. The impact the sound waves had on his breathing was that it pushed air in and out of his lungs because the wavelengths were so long.
3. Lastly lower frequency waves with a long wavelength will have a great physical effect because they are able to penetrate more, as demonstrated in Mr. Roman's punch analogy, in which long wavelengths were represented by a long wind-up.
1. The oscillating speakers create waves of low frequency, with large amplitude, wavelength, and period.
ReplyDelete2. Adam's breathing was impacted because the speakers were creating air waves with strong pressure forcing the air in and out of his lungs.
3. lower frequency waves are more likely to have this effect because there is more kinetic energy focused on less waves causing them to penetrate through objects easier.
1. The waves the speaker makes will have a big wave length, high amplitude, large period, but it will also have a low frequency.
ReplyDelete2. Adam's breathing was impacted because the pressure from the waves was so strong due to the long wavelength, it actually forced air out of his lungs.
3. Due to the longer wavelength that lower frequency notes carry, they carry more energy over a greater period of time. This would make them more powerful and have a greater effect on the human body.
1. The speakers make waves with a big amplitude, and big wavelength but a low frequency.
ReplyDelete2. As he inhales these waves with sections of compression and sections of rarefaction, his breathing changes because of the changes in air pressure from low to high.
3. Low frequency waves have more of a physical effect because the waves hit quickly and rapidly whereas a low frequency wave will carry more force per wave because of its greater distance.
1. The sound wave produced by the speakers will have a low amplitude and a low frequency. Thus, the waves will have a very large period since periods are the inverse of frequency. Also, these waves will have a large wavelength.
ReplyDelete2. Adam has more difficulty breathing because the pressure of the wave going into his mouth has different compression and pressure levels. Adam’s breathing is like this because sound is a result of compressed and not compressed waves with different pressure.
3. Low frequency waves occur less frequently; thus, they store more energy. Since more energy is stored over this longer wave, it can penetrate more. Low frequency waves can as a result travel farther distances because they are not absorbed by the surrounding air like high frequency waves.
1. There would be a lower frequency, a larger amplitude, wave length, and period.
ReplyDelete2. The wavelengths were physically moving air in and out of his body. The air moved in compression waves, part of the waves were compressed where others were not.
3. Low frequency waves are more likely to have an effect on you because they carry more stored energy, so they can penetrate deeper.
1.The movement of the large speaker drivers indicate that the sound produced will have a large amplitude, wavelength, and period with a low frequency.
ReplyDelete2. The sound waves will alter his normal breathing because some of the air he is breathing is being compressed, while some of it is not. The difference in the compression of air makes breathing harder because the pressure is alternating. Also, the sound waves put pressure on his chest and make it harder for him to easily inhale and exhale.
3. It is more probable for waves with low frequencies to have an effect on him because waves with lower frequencies have larger amounts of stored energy per wave and can travel deeper through his body as opposed to high frequency waves.
1) The speakers create waves with a low frequency, but a large amplitude and wavelength.
ReplyDelete2) The waves cause Adam to breathe abnormally due to the fact that he is breathing in both compression waves and rarefaction waves. Additionally, there is high pressure resulting from the waves which comes into contact with his chest causing Adam to have difficulty inhaling and exhaling.
3) Low frequency waves have a higher chance to make a larger impact on you due to the fact that they are able to carry much more energy and can penetrate your body more intensely.

ReplyDelete1. The speaker will have a high amplitude, long wavelength, high period and a low frequency. The amplitude will increase as the frequency decreases because they have an inverse relationship and the wavelength will be high due to it's dependence on frequency through the period. The amplitude will also be high because of the drastic level of oscillation, which is visible when looking at the speaker drivers.
ReplyDelete2. Sound waves have different levels of compression and rarefaction meaning their pressure levels are different. Due to breathing in this air, his lungs experienced a drastic change in the air that was being breathed in which went from low to high pressure levels; making it harder to breath in later.
3. Low frequency carries out more energy over a longer wavelength (which it is). Due to the wave carrying more energy, this will have a more monumental impact on the human body because like anything else, when having more energy there will always be a greater result.
1. The waves made by the speaker will have a large period, big wavelength, low frequency, and high amplitude.
ReplyDelete2. Adam's breathing changes because of the pressure differentials made by the large sound waves. The waves were actually able to push air in and out of Adam's lungs.
3. Lower frequency waves contain more kinetic energy per wave and can penetrate through objects deeper and more easily.
1. The speaker will omit waves with a large wavelength, amplitude and period, considering they all adjust together; however, the waves will have a low frequency.
ReplyDelete2. The pressure of the air Adam was breathing was altered by compression and rarefaction waves, causing him to breathe abnormally.
3. High frequency waves have less kinetic energy, yet the shorter wavelength causes this low energy impact more often than low frequency waves. Therefore, the low frequency waves store more energy, causing them to have a stronger, deeper impact.
1. Because frequency and amplitude have an inverse relationship, and the speakers amplitude increases, the frequency decreases, and the wave length will be high because its dependent on frequency and period.
ReplyDelete2. Adam's breathing was altered by the pressure of the sound waves. The waves were constantly compressing and refracting, and the air was being pushed in and out of his lungs, which made it harder for him to breath regularly.
3.The low frequency waves are more likely to have an effect on him because these waves have more stored kinetic energy per wave; therefore, they can penetrate his body more deeply.
1. Because the speakers amplitude increases, the speakers create waves of low frequency, with large amplitudes, periods, and wavelengths.
ReplyDelete2. Adam's breathing was changed because the speakers created air waves with higher pressure, which forced the air in and out of his lungs.
3. The low frequency waves are more likely to have an effect on him because the waves have more kinetic energy stored, which causes them to penetrate his body further.
As the speakers amplitude increases, the frequency is lowered creating a long wavelength due to the frequency and period.
ReplyDeleteAdams breathing altered because of the change of pressure in and out of the speakers direction. The speakers causes waves which alter the pressure in which Adam is breathing.
The low frequency waves have a higher effect because the waves have a higher kinetic energy stored within which causes the penetration of his to go even further.
1. Since the vibrating part of the speaker is oscillating, or swinging bath and forth, the wavelength and period will be bigger, while the frequency with be smaller. Since the wavelength, period, and frequency are a “package” deal, changing one will adjust the other two.
ReplyDelete2. Adam was inhaling varying pressures of air and since the waves were constantly compressing and refracting, it harder for him to breath normally.
3. For high frequency waves, the energy is divided into smaller parts, contrasting to low frequency (fewer cycles) where the waves are divided into larger parts.
1. Because the speakers are vibrating so heavily, that means that the waves produced will have a high amplitude and a low frequency. Because of the low frequency, there will also be a longer period and a longer wavelength. That is why bass in music has more of an effect on our body than a piano.
ReplyDelete2. Because the speakers were sort of 'booming,' the force created from the changing air pressure around Adam affected his ability to transfer air in and out from his body.
3. Lower frequency waves travel with much more energy stored in them than higher frequency waves which would have more a physical effect on our body.
1) Due to the fact that the speakers' amplitude increases, low frequency waves form. These waves have large amplitudes,wavelengths, and periods.
ReplyDelete2) The speakers caused waves with higher pressure to form, which forced the air into and out of Adam's lungs; thus, his breathing changed.
3) Lower frequency waves are more likely to have effect him. Since waves with a low frequency have more kinetic energy, they are able to penetrate his body more.
1. The speakers are producing a very low frequency noise, which has a very high amplitude. Waves from sounds like this have very lengthy wavelength, with a much more effective penetrating power.
ReplyDelete2. The waves from the low frequency have much more penetrating power, because of their more focused and pressure waves, which caused irregular breathing.
3. Lower frequency waves have more penetrating power, because as opposed to the higher frequency waves, which simply bounce around very quickly. These lower frequency waves have much more kinetic energy than higher frequency waves.
1-When the speakers amplitude increases, the result is lower frequency. These waves are much more effective in producing sound because of the three package deal. The amplitude increases, so does the wavelength and periods of the waves.
ReplyDelete2- His breathing changed because of the pressure being omitted from the waves. These waves have a much lower frequency, and as a result they have more pressure.
3- Higher frequency waves have much less penetrating power because the wavelengths are small and cannot give off enough pressure to be significant.
1.The speakers will have a low frequency with long wavelengths and high pressure and high amplitude because they create a deep and powerful sound that has a lot of energy and penetrates powerfully.
ReplyDelete2. The pressure of the waves is not consistant, so the air Adam breathes is both highly pressurized air and low(ly?) pressurized air, having both low frequencies and high frequencies which cause his irregular breathing.
3. The low frequency waves would have this effect becuase the energy is divided amongst long whavelengths, giving more energy per wavelength, whereas high frequency waves has divided energy among smaller wavelengths, giving it less energy per wavelenth and less penetrating power.
