Acoustic+Vocabulary

=Acoustics Vocabulary =

**REVERBERATION**: Sound reflection, replication. The repetition of a sound resulting from reflection of the sound waves

**SPEED**: Rapidity in moving, going, traveling, proceeding, or performing; swiftness; celerity: the speed of light; the speed of sound.   **FREQUENCY**: Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. It is also referred to as temporal frequency. The period is the duration of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency.

 **WAVELENGTH**: The distance, measured in the direction ofpropagation of a wave, between two successive points in thewave that are characterized by the same phase ofoscillation.

 **LONGITUDINAL**: Extending in the direction of the length of a thing; runninglengthwise: a thin, longitudinal stripe.

 **TRANSVERSE**: Lying or extending across or in a cross direction; cross.

**FREQUENCY**: Frequence, oftenness. The number of occurrences within a given time period

**SPEED**: Speed, velocity. It represents the distance travelled per unit time

**PITCH**: the property of sound that varies with variation in the frequency of vibration
