Sound Waves

Front

What determines whether a sound has a high or low pitch?

Back

The frequency of the sound waves.

Front

Which wavelength corresponds to a high pitch sound, like a flute or whistle?

Back

High Frequency Wavelength.

Front

What does low amplitude indicate about a sound?

Back

It means the sound is quieter.

Front

What is the relationship between low frequency and pitch?

Back

Low frequency results in a low pitch.

Front

What type of waves do sound waves travel as?

Back

Longitudinal waves.

Front

What is frequency in the context of sound waves?

Back

The number of waves that pass a point in one second.

Front

How does amplitude affect the loudness of a sound?

Back

Higher amplitude means louder sounds.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for frequency?

Back

Hertz (Hz).

Front

What happens to the pitch of a sound as its frequency increases?

Back

The pitch becomes higher.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

Higher frequency corresponds to shorter wavelength.
