Acoustics is the study of how sounds interact with eachother and the enviroment
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
Causes of hearing loss= injury infection exposure to loud sounds and aging
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
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
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
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
