How does sound travel through different mediums?

• Sound travels through different mediums by creating vibrations in the particles of the medium.

• Sound travels through different mediums by creating a magnetic field in the medium.

• Sound travels through different mediums by creating a vacuum in the medium.

• Sound travels through different mediums by creating a chemical reaction in the medium.

Which parts of the ear are involved in hearing?

• earlobe, eardrum, and cochlea

• outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear

• pinna, tympanic membrane, and semicircular canals

• auditory canal, ossicles, and vestibule

What is the difference between sound and noise?

• Sound is a type of energy, while noise is a type of disturbance.

• Sound is always loud, while noise can be soft.

• Sound is produced intentionally, while noise is produced unintentionally.

• Sound is a natural phenomenon that can be pleasant, while noise is unwanted or unpleasant sound.

What is the frequency of a sound wave?

• The frequency of a sound wave is the number of cycles of the wave that occur in one second.

• The frequency of a sound wave is the speed of the wave.

• The frequency of a sound wave is the distance the wave travels in one second.

• The frequency of a sound wave is the amplitude of the wave.

How does the amplitude of a sound wave affect its volume?

• The amplitude of a sound wave affects its volume by determining the intensity or loudness of the sound.

• The amplitude of a sound wave affects its volume by determining its frequency.

• The amplitude of a sound wave affects its volume by determining its pitch.

• The amplitude of a sound wave does not affect its volume.

What is the function of the eardrum?

• The function of the eardrum is to amplify sound waves.

• The function of the eardrum is to vibrate in response to sound waves and transmit them to the middle ear.

• The function of the eardrum is to produce sound waves.

• The function of the eardrum is to filter out background noise.

Give an example of a sound that is considered noise.

• The sound of a car honking loudly is considered noise.

• The sound of a bird chirping is considered noise.

• The sound of waves crashing on the shore is considered noise.

• The sound of rain falling is considered noise.
