Underwater acoustics (also known as hydroacoustics) is the study of the propagation of sound in water and the interaction of the mechanical waves that constitute sound with the water, its contents and its boundaries. The water may be in the ocean, a lake, a river or a tank. Typical frequencies associated with underwater acoustics are between 10 ...

The startle reflex is a brainstem reflectory reaction (reflex) that serves to protect vulnerable parts, such as the back of the neck (whole-body startle) and the eyes (eyeblink) and facilitates escape from sudden stimuli. It is found across many different species, throughout all stages of life. A variety of responses may occur depending on the ...
During extreme cold events, you may hear a loud boom and feel like you have experienced an earthquake. However, this event was more likely a cryoseism, also known as an ice quake or a frost quake ...
Acoustic levitation is a method for suspending matter in air against gravity using acoustic radiation pressure from high intensity sound waves. [1] [2] It works on the same principles as acoustic tweezers by harnessing acoustic radiation forces. However acoustic tweezers are generally small scale devices which operate in a fluid medium and are ...
Acoustic location. Swedish soldiers operating an acoustic locator in 1940. Acoustic location is a method of determining the position of an object or sound source by using sound waves. Location can take place in gases (such as the atmosphere), liquids (such as water), and in solids (such as in the earth). Location can be done actively or passively:
Sound localization is a listener's ability to identify the location or origin of a detected sound in direction and distance. The sound localization mechanisms of the mammalian auditory system have been extensively studied. The auditory system uses several cues for sound source localization, including time difference and level difference (or ...
Lumpy is spinning a playground merry-go-round as Cuddles, Toothy and Giggles ride it. They tell Lumpy to spin them faster, and Lumpy does so. Suddenly, Toothy flies off and crashes into a tree, breaking his back. The pole Giggles is holding onto breaks off, and she flies right into a tree stump, slicing her body in half as the pole impales her ...
