Frequency and Pitch
Sound Waves
Applications of Sound
General Sound
Light It Up
100
This is a term given to how high or low sound is.
What is pitch?
100
Sound travels in this type of wave.
What is a compression wave?
100
These are a result of sound waves that hit a solid surface and bounce off (reflect).
What are echoes?
100
The type of matter sound travel worst through
What is air/gas?
100
Light travels in this direction.
What is a straight path?
200
This term is given to determine the speeds of vibrations within a compression wave.
What is frequency?
200
Wavelengths are measured by this.
What is compression to compression or rarefaction to rarefaction?
200
Dolphins and bats use this for navigation and finding prey.
What is echolocation/SONAR?
200
This is the term for a rapid back and forth movement that produces sound
What is a vibration?
200
This is the name of a light wave
What is a transverse wave?
300
Pitch gets higher as a result of this.
What is frequency increases?
300
Sound travels as this.
What are vibrations?
300
This represents sound that is below the human hearing range.
What is infrasonic/infrasound?
300
Light travels faster than this
What is sound?
300
White light is made up of this.
What is ROY G BV?
400
This happens as a result of a thicker instrument string or a longer column of air.
What is pitch decreases or gets lower?
400
Sound travels best and loudest through this medium.
What is a solid?
400
This represents sound that is above the human hearing range.
What is ultrasonic or ultrasound?
400
The three necessities for sound to occur
What is a source, a medium for it to travel through, and a receiver?
400
Crest to crest or trough to trough
What is wavelength in a transverse wave?
500
This is a term given when two substances vibrate at the same frequency; one causes the other to vibrate.
What is resonance?
500
The less dense area of a compression wave
What is rarefaction?
500
This is the one of the animals that has infrasonic hearing.
What are elephants or humpback whales?
500
This is the only place where sound does not exist because it is a vacuum.
What is outer space?
500
This is an example of how light and sound are similar.
What is they both travel in waves? What is they can both be reflected or absorbed? What is they are both affected by frequency?
