| Objectives: |
The objective of this course is to enable students to understand the formation, behavior, and characteristics of wave motions, as well as the nature of sound, how it is generated, its properties, and its progression through the outer and middle ear. |
| Content: |
The course content encompasses measurement and magnitudes in physics, wave motion, and traveling sinusoidal waves, as well as the fundamental characteristics and speed of sound waves. It further explores the relationship between sound waves and pressure, sound intensity, energy, and sound intensity levels, alongside the interference of sound waves and the phenomenon of beats. Additionally, the curriculum covers the Doppler effect, shock waves, and resonance in sound waves, as well as the principles of reflection, refraction, and diffraction. The scope of the course concludes with a detailed examination of complex sound waves, ear anatomy, the mechanics of hearing, and hearing loss. |
