  2. Sound pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_pressure

    Sound pressure or acoustic pressure is the local pressure deviation from the ambient (average or equilibrium) atmospheric pressure, caused by a sound wave. In air, sound pressure can be measured using a microphone , and in water with a hydrophone .

  3. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    The difference in liquid levels represents the applied pressure. The pressure exerted by a column of fluid of height h and density ρ is given by the hydrostatic pressure equation, P = hgρ. Therefore, the pressure difference between the applied pressure P a and the reference pressure P 0 in a U-tube manometer can be found by solving P a − P ...

  4. Non-invasive measurement of intracranial pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-invasive_measurement...

    In Sinha's [14] method resonant frequency of the skull bones is determined first, then a sinusoidal excitation at the resonant frequency is delivered through a piezo-transducer, and ICP is calculated directly from the phase difference between the excitatory signal and response detected with a second transducer.

  5. Pulsatile flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsatile_flow

    is the angular frequency of the first harmonic of a Fourier series of an oscillatory pressure gradient, n: are the natural numbers, P' n: is the pressure gradient magnitude for the frequency nω, ρ: is the fluid density, μ: is the dynamic viscosity, R: is the pipe radius, J 0 (·) is the Bessel function of first kind and order zero, i: is the ...

  6. Frequency response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_response

    In signal processing and electronics, the frequency response of a system is the quantitative measure of the magnitude and phase of the output as a function of input frequency. [1] The frequency response is widely used in the design and analysis of systems, such as audio and control systems , where they simplify mathematical analysis by ...

  7. Pressure gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_gradient

    The horizontal pressure gradient is a two-dimensional vector resulting from the projection of the pressure gradient onto a local horizontal plane. Near the Earth's surface, this horizontal pressure gradient force is directed from higher toward lower pressure. Its particular orientation at any one time and place depends strongly on the weather ...

  8. Speed of sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound

    The speed of sound is raised by humidity. The difference between 0% and 100% humidity is about 1.5 m/s at standard pressure and temperature, but the size of the humidity effect increases dramatically with temperature. The dependence on frequency and pressure are normally insignificant in practical applications.

  9. A-weighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-weighting

    A graph of the A-, B-, C- and D-weightings across the frequency range 10 Hz – 20 kHz Video illustrating A-weighting by analyzing a sine sweep (contains audio). A-weighting is a form of frequency weighting and the most commonly used of a family of curves defined in the International standard IEC 61672:2003 and various national standards relating to the measurement of sound pressure level.
