Waves
This wave moves particles perpendicular to the direction the energy wave is traveling.
What is a Transverse Wave?
Sound waves are this type of mechanical wave.
What is Longitudinal?
This is what type of sound you will hear if the wave has a high frequency.
What is a high pitch noise?
This is a thin piece of skin that divides the outer ear and middle ear.
What is the eardrum?
This is what waves cannot transfer.
What is matter?
This is the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave. Ex. Crest to Crest
What is Wavelength?
The states of matter that sound can travel through.
What are solids, liquids, and gases?
This is what the volume would sound like if a sound wave had a small amplitude.
What is a quiet sound?
These are the 3 tiny bones in the middle ear, known as the ossicles.
What are the hammer, anvil, and stirrup?
This is when two or more different atoms are chemically combined.
What is a compound?
These waves move particles parallel to the direction of energy.
What are Longitudinal?
This is what we call a sound wave that is reflected back toward us.
What is an Echo?
This is what causes sound waves.
What is vibrations?
This is the structure of the ear that is spiral-shaped and is contained with fluid.
What is the cochlea?
This is made up of tiny particles called atoms that have mass and take up space.
What is matter?
This is the distance from the resting position to a crest OR trough, in other words this is the height of the wave..
What are amplitude?
This is something that sound waves can not travel through.
What is a vacuum?
This is the state of matter through which sound will move the fastest.
What is a solid?
This is the section of the ear that contains the eardrum and the ossicles.
What is the middle ear?
This is the order from fastest to slowest particle movement of the 3 states of matter.
What is Gas, Liquid, and solid?
This is what the particles are doing when a mechanical wave passes.
What is Vibrates?
This is what the area is called when the particles of a sound wave (Longitudinal) are spread out.
What is Rarefaction?
This is what the area is called when the particles of a sound wave (longitudinal) are closest together.
What is compression?
This is the part of the ear that sends the electrical signals to the brain.
What is the auditory nerve?
This si the part of the ear that is responsible for maintaining balance and head rotation.
What is the semicircular canal?
