The sound quality of musical insturment results from blending fundamental tone with its over tone.

Reasonance also plays a role in the sound quality

Lowest natural frequency of a object is fundamental tones

The objects higher frequency is overtone

Acoustics is the study of how sounds interact with eachother and the enviroment

Reverbaration is when sound waves move back and forth

Acoustics is used in the design of concert halls to control reverbaration and interferance

The outer ear funnels sound wave the middle ear transmit the waves inward and the inner ear converts
sound waves into a form that travels to ur brain

Ear canal collects sound wave and directs them into a narrow region

Eardrum is a small tightly strecthed drumlike membrane

Cochela is a fluid filled cavity shaped like a snail shell

Causes of hearing loss= injury infection exposure to loud sounds and aging

Hearing aids are a device to help deaf people hear

Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves that transfer electric and magnetic enery

Electromagnetic waves contains of vibrating electro and magnetic fields the moves at the speed of light

The energy that is transfer through space by electro magnetic wave is called electromagnetic spectrum

Speed of all electro magnetic waves are 300k km/s

All electro magnetic waves have the same speed in a vaccum but different wavelengths and frequencies
Electromagnetic spectrum made out radio waves, infared rays, visible light, ultra violrt rays, x rays,
gamma rays

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves with longest wavelength and lowest frequency

Broadcast waves radio waves with longer frequency are use in broadcasting

Micro waves the radio waves with the shortest wavelength and highest frequencies are microwaves

Infrared rays are electromagnetic waves with wavelength shorter than of radio waves

Visible light makes a small part in electromagnetic spectrum

Ultraviolet ray are electro magnetic waves with wavelengths shorter than visible light but higher
frequency

X Rays are electromagnetic waves with wave length shorter but higher frequency than ultraviolet rays

Gamma rays are electro magnetic waves with shortest wavelength but highest frequency

Object is iluminated if you see it reflected by light

Luminous if it gives off its own light

Common type of light bulbs incandescent tungsten-halogen fluorscent,vapor,neon lights

Incandescent light is a light bulb that glows when a filement inside it gets white hot

Tungsten-halogen is a light bulb that has tungsten filament and contains halogen gas such as bromine
and iodine

Fluorescent light is a bulb that contains a gas and is coated on the inside with a powder

Vapor light a bulb that contains neon or argon gas a small amount of solid sodium/mercury

Neon light Is a sealed glass tube that contains neon glass
