What are the highest and lowest points of a sound wave called? And draw it.
crest and trough
What does high frequency mean?
High pitch!
How does sound happen? What is happening to the molecules?
Vibrations!
Does sound travel fastest in the ocean, a desk, or a can of paint?
A desk
Amplitude
What does low frequency mean?
Low pitch!
Does sound move faster is solid, liquid, or gas?
Solid
Put these in order from fastest to slowest based on speed of sound:
1. A lake
2. A slab of concrete
3. A balloon filled with air
fastest = concrete
middle = lake
slowest = balloon filled with air
Drawing:
If a sound wave has a TALL amplitude, what does this mean?
The sound is loud.
Why does sound travel FASTEST in solids?
Because the molecules are packed tightly and create more vibrations!
How does SONAR use sound to locate object?
Using sound waves that bounce off/reflect off of objects!
Draw a low frequency wave
Draw it:
If a sound wave has a LOW amplitude, what does that mean?
Soft sound
Which sound is the SOFTEST?
Leaves rustling
What energy transformations does playing a guitar go through?
Mechanical -> Sound
How do you measure the distance between one wave and another? Draw it
Using wavelength
When a sound wave has a part that is VERY close together, what is it called?
Compression Wave
What is echolocation?
Echolocation is a technique used by bats, dolphins and other animals to determine the location of objects using sound!
When an opera singer uses her voice to break a glass, what is happening to the glass? What makes it break?
The vibrations and/or high pitch!
