All of the following are true about stiffness except;
a. it is defined as the ability of an object to resist compression
b. stiffness and propagation speed are indirectly associated
c. increasing stiffness increases propagation speed
d. stiffness may also be referred to as elasticity - CORRECT ANSWER-b -
stiffness and propagation speed are indirectly associated.
they are directly associated .you increase stiffness and your prop speed
increases

c. Condensations
d. Rarefractions - CORRECT ANSWER-a . compressions
Spatial pulse length can be calculated by :
a. multiplying the # of cycles times the frequency
b. dividing the period by the frequency
c. multiplying the number of cycles times the wavelength
d. dividing the number of cycles by the wavelength - CORRECT ANSWER-c. # of
cycles x wavelength
