Term
|
Definition
if a wave encounters an object that only partially obstructs its path, it will continue past the object, changing its shape ai it wraps around the obstruction |

Decibel Hearing Level (dBHL) |
|
Definition
in audiologic settings, the reference pressure is frequency specific and represents the threshold for sound detection by normally functioning human ears at particular frequencies |

Term
Decibel Sensation Level (dBSL) |
|
Definition
uses a subject's actual hearing sensitivity threshold as its reference level |

Term
Decibel Intensity Level (dBIL) |
|
Definition
Decibel scale commonly used commonly used in industrial and community noise settings is called the dBA scale. Engineering and electrical applications commonly use 10 to the negative 18th power watts/cm squared as the reference intensity , resulting in the ? scale |
