Sound

Front

What are the characteristics of a sound wave?

Back

Amplitude, Wavelength, Frequency, and Speed are all characteristics of a sound wave.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and pitch in sound waves?

Back

Higher frequency results in higher pitch.

Front

Why can't you hear in space?

Back

There is no medium in space for sound to travel through.

Front

What is pitch in terms of sound?

Back

Pitch is how the human ear interprets frequency.

Front

How does temperature affect the speed of sound?

Back

As the temperature increases, the speed of sound increases.

Front

What is amplitude in sound waves?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.

Front

What is wavelength in sound waves?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between successive crests of a wave, typically measured in meters.

Front

What is frequency in sound waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in one second, measured in Hertz (Hz).

Front

What is the speed of sound in air at room temperature?

Back

The speed of sound in air at room temperature (20°C) is approximately 343 meters per second.

Front

What is a longitudinal wave?

Back

A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as the wave travels.
