Document Summary

If you reduce the area in which force can be applied, then more force is applied in the specified area, and more pressure will affect that area. Increasing force on a physical surface is to increase pressure on that physical surface. Lower volume means higher pressure when it comes to weight. Most recent air pressure compared to this default, normal pressure (101. 3 kpa) Sound wave: kpa means pascal, and is a measure of pressure. A train of alternating compressions and rarefactions of air particles. A. k. a, higher gas density and lower gas density. Amplitude, period, frequency, phase difference, in phase , wavelength, The deviation, scale, size, and maximum size of the overpressure disturbance. How large in measurement, is the gap between compression and rarefaction. The amount of time it takes for once cycle of compression and rarefaction to be completed. For example, a sound wave with a frequency of 4 hertz can complete 4 full cycles in a single second.
