Which type of wave moves up and down.
Transverse
If one wave has 5 waves per second and another wave has 10 waves per second, how are the pitches different?
The one with 10 waves would be higher pitched than the wave with 5.
Frequency of a wave is measured in?
wavelengths
The high point of a wave
crest
The part of the ear that captures sound.
The Outer Ear
Which type of wave moves the particles back and forth.
Longitudinal
Transverse waves move __________________to the direction of energy transferred.
Perpendicular
The distance from rest(equilibrium) to trough.
Amplitude
The low point of a wave
Trough
This part of the transports the sound to the cochlea.
The Middle Ear
Why does the sound get quieter the farther it travels?
This type of wave does not need material mediums to travel.
electromagnetic
This is the top of the wave.
Crest
The distance between two crests or two troughs.
Wavelength
The ear is made of how many parts?
3
The matter that waves travel through is known as
Material Medium
sound is an example of which type of wave?
Longitudinal Wave
Which property of the wave is labeled A?
Wavelength
Measures the height of the wave.
Amplitude
This part of the ear has the cochlea
The inner ear
A disturbance that carries energy is called
Electromagnetic waves can travel through what?
A vacuum/material medium
Matter that a wave travels through (solid, liquid, gas)
Material Medium
The number of wavelengths that pass a given point per second
Frequency
If someone is deaf, it is usually because what part of the ear is damaged?
The microscopic hairs
