Period Frequency amplitude power intensity speed wavelength
Period
The time it takes to complete a single cycle
Frequency
The number of certain events that occur in a perticular time duration
Frequency affects...
Penetration and resolution
Period and Frequency are
Recipricals
Period times Freq=

Amplitude
The difference between th average value and the max value of acoustic variable
Amplitude____as is travels through the body
Decreases
Peak-to-peak amplitude
Difference between max and min values of an acoustic variable
1/2 Peak-to-Peak Amplitude=
Amplitude
Power____as sound travels through the body
Decreases
Power is proportional to
Amplitude squared
If Amplitude is tripled then
Power is increased by nine
Intensity is proportional to
Power
