Sound traveling
100

What are the highest and lowest points of a sound wave called? And draw it.

crest and trough

100

What does high frequency mean?

High pitch!

100

How does sound happen? What is happening to the molecules?

Vibrations!

100

Does sound travel fastest in the ocean, a desk, or a can of paint?

A desk

200
What is the height of the wave called? And draw it. 

Amplitude 

200

What does low frequency mean?

Low pitch!

200

Does sound move faster is solid, liquid, or gas?

Solid

200

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

Draw a high frequency wave

Drawing: 

300

If a sound wave has a TALL amplitude, what does this mean?

The sound is loud. 

300

Why does sound travel FASTEST in solids?

Because the molecules are packed tightly and create more vibrations!

300

How does SONAR use sound to locate object?

Using sound waves that bounce off/reflect off of objects!

400

Draw a low frequency wave

Draw it:

400

If a sound wave has a LOW amplitude, what does that mean?

Soft sound

400

Which sound is the SOFTEST?

Leaves rustling

400

What energy transformations does playing a guitar go through?

Mechanical -> Sound

500

How do you measure the distance between one wave and another? Draw it

Using wavelength

500

When a sound wave has a part that is VERY close together, what is it called? 

Compression Wave 

500

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!
