Characteristics of Sound
A small pebble dropped in a puddle will create what type of disturbance?
What is a small wave?
The most common unit used to measure loudness.
What is decibel?
When you drop a pebble in a pond, it makes waves in this shape.
What is a circle?
This is the type of material through which sound travels fastest.
What is solid?
Whales and tubas make make slow vibrations and low frequency that have this sound.
What is low pitch?
The distance between the crest of one wave to the crest of the next.
What is wavelength?
Waves with a high amplitude have more of this:
What is more loudness (energy)?
What type of medium is water?
What is a liquid?
This is how waves reflect from a rigid end.
What is inverted (on the opposite side)?
The extent to which a sound can be heard.
What is a loudness?
High frequency waves sound like this.
What is high pitch?
This is what waves do when they reach shallow areas.
What is break? not on test
This determines the speed of a wave.
What is the medium through which it travels?
A sonic boom happens because of this effect.
What is the Doppler effect?
The particles in longitudinal waves (sound waves) move like this.
What is back and forth or parallel?
The speed at which a wave travels through a medium..
What is wave speed?
