Sound Waves part 2

Front

What happens to the volume when you increase the amplitude of a sound wave?

Back

The volume increases.

Front

What do tall amplitude waves have compared to short amplitude waves?

Back

Tall amplitude waves have more energy.

Front

What is the trough in a sound wave?

Back

The trough is the lowest point of a wave.

Front

Can sound waves travel through empty space?

Back

No, sound waves cannot travel through empty space.

Front

What type of sound do high frequency waves produce?

Back

High frequency waves produce high pitch sounds.

Front

What is amplitude in the context of sound waves?

Back

Amplitude is the height of the wave, which determines the volume.

Front

What is frequency in sound waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in one second, determining the pitch.

Front

What is the relationship between amplitude and energy in sound waves?

Back

Higher amplitude means more energy in the sound wave.

Front

What is a sound wave?

Back

A sound wave is a vibration that travels through a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) and can be heard when it reaches a person's or animal's ear.

Front

What medium can sound waves travel through?

Back

Sound waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
