Sound that we hear is because particles ......... 

What is vibrate?

100
What sound is measured in
What is decibels?
100
The number of wavelengths in a sound wave
What is frequency?
100
Used by humans to perceive sound
What are ears?
100

This is determined by the amplitude of the sound wave

What is loudness? or What is Volume?

200

This is how bats navigate

What is echolocation?

200
Sound requires this to travel
What is a medium?
200
Determined by the frequency of the wave
What is pitch?
200

The hammer, anvil, stirrup

What are the three bones of the ear?

200

These waves move perpendicular to the force.

What is Transverse?

300
Sound cannot travel in this
What is space?
300

Sound travels best in this

What is a solid?

300

Wave motion caused by the compression and refraction of atoms

What is longitudinal waves?

300
Acts as a funnel to concentrate the sound waves toward your middle and inner ear. Contains the ear flap and the ear canal.
What is the Outer Ear
300

These vibrate for humans to produce sounds.

What is a vocal cords?

400
The science of sound
What is acoustics?
400

Temperature and Medium impact this.....

What is the speed of sound?

400

How tightly packed the particles are in a sound wave.

What is amplitude?

400
Made up of a cochlea, semicircular canals, and the auditory nerve.
What is the Inner Ear?
400

Differing frequencies can cause a sound wave to be more "direct" (high) or "broad" (low)

What is pitch?

500

this created by an object traveling faster than the speed of sound

What is a Sonic Boom

500
Created when objects vibrate and travels through the compression and refraction of atoms
What are sound waves?
500
The shift in frequency of acoustic or electromagnetic radiation emitted by a source moving relative to an observer as perceived by the observer: the shift is to higher frequencies when the source approaches and to lower frequencies when it recedes.
What is the Doppler Effect?
500

This region is connected to the mouth to equalize pressure in its air-filled cavity. Contains three tiny bones that sound waves travel across.

What is the Middle Ear?

500

When waves bend, bounce off, go through or change speed or direction as they travel.

What is wave interaction?
