The sound wave is reflected back from the surface.
What type of sound does this produce?
What happens when a sound wave meets a
hard flat surface?
Reflected sound waves

Echoes and reflection
What do we call reflected sound?
Are hard or soft surfaces best at reflecting sound?
How are echoes reduced in cinemas and theatres?
Name two animals that use echoes for navigation or
communication.

1.Sound waves are
collected by the
ear lobe or pinna.
2.The waves
travel along
the ear canal.
3.The waves
make the ear
drum vibrate.
4.The small bones
(ossicles) amplify
the vibrations.
5.The cochlea
turns theseinto electrical
signals.
6.The auditory nerve
takes the signals
to the brain.

Set the volume and increase the frequency of the signal
provided by the signal generator.
Humans cannot hear sounds of every frequency.
What is the hearing range of a healthy young person?
The range of frequencies you can hear is called your
hearing range.
Can we hear all frequencies?

We all have slightly different hearing rangesbut almost 1 in 5 people suffer some sort of
hearing loss.
Temporary hearing loss may be caused by ear infections
and colds after which hearing recovers.
Permanent hearing loss and deafness can be present at
birth or occur if the ear is damaged or diseased.
Does everyone have the same hearing range?
People lose the ability to hear sounds of high frequency
as they get older.
Which end of their hearing range will be affected?
Do we have the same hearing?

The loudness of a sound is measured in decibels (dB).
0 dB = quietest audible sound (near total silence)
10 dB = 10 times more powerful than the quietest sound
20 dB = 100 times more powerful than the quietest sound
How much more powerful than the quietest sound is 30 dB?
A whisper is 30 dB and normal conversation is 60 dB.How much more powerful is normal conversation compared
to a whisper?
How is loudness measured?

Any sound above 85 dB can damage hearing.
You know you are listening to 85 dB sound
if you have to raise your voice to be heard.
The amount of time spent listening to a loud soundalso causes hearing problems.
Any 140 dB sound causes pain and immediate damage!
More than two hours of 100 dB sound can damage your ears.
What might also influence hearing loss?
Why are there laws about the maximum levels of sound
that people should be exposed to at work?
When is sound dangerous?

What is noise?
A noise is any unwanted sound.
What one person considers noise another person might not.Can you name any examples?
List three effects of noise.
List three ways of reducing the effects of loud noise.

The upper frequency limit of human hearing 20 000 Hz.
Any high frequency sound above 20 kHz is called…
Whales and dolphins communicate using ultrasound.
Why does a dog whistle vibrate at ultrasound frequencies?
Can you name another human use of ultrasound?

Which of the following does not use ultrasound?
It’s a trick question! All of the above involve ultrasound.
High frequencies can be very useful!

X rays are more energetic and penetrating and are a lot more
dangerous, they could cause damage to the growing baby.
fetus at 10 weeks fetus at 20 weeks
Why is ultrasound for scanning fetuses instead of X rays
which would give a clearer picture?
Ultrasound is the name given to a medical technique.
It uses high frequency sound waves to produce images of
inside the body without opening up the body.

Ultrasound, like all sound, is reflected when it meets
different boundaries. So how is this used for imaging?
An ultrasound machine transmits high-frequency sound
waves into the body.
These sound waves are reflected different amounts by
different tissues.
The reflected waves are
detected by a receiver.
A computer turns the distanceand intensities of these echoes
into a two-dimensional image.
How does ultrasound imaging work?
