Echo sounding is used to measure the depth of the sea. It involves sending sound waves (usually low-frequency) into the water and measuring the time it takes for the sound waves to bounce off the seafloor and return. By calculating ...
The decibel unit is used for the intensity of sound. It quantifies the level of sound intensity based on a logarithmic scale, where each increase of 10 decibels represents a tenfold increase in intensity. This unit helps measure and compare ...
While shouting, a person keeps the palm near the mouth because in that position, the sound energy will point in one direction only. This helps to direct the sound waves forward, increasing their intensity and focusing them toward the intended ...
