Sound

Front

What happens to the pitch of a sound if the energy of the wave is increased?

Back

The pitch increases (higher pitch).

Front

How do Wave A and Wave B differ if they have the same amplitude but different pitches?

Back

Wave A has a higher pitch than Wave B.

Front

What characteristics describe a soft, high pitch sound?

Back

It has high frequency and low amplitude.

Front

How does increasing the distance from a sound source affect the sound heard?

Back

The sound would be softer.

Front

What pitch does an ambulance sound when it is moving toward you?

Back

It sounds high pitched.

Front

Define sound wave.

Back

A sound wave is a longitudinal wave that is created by vibrating objects and travels through a medium (like air, water, or solids).

Front

What is frequency in terms of sound?

Back

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

Front

What is amplitude in sound waves?

Back

Amplitude is the height of the wave, which determines the loudness of the sound.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and pitch?

Back

Higher frequency results in a higher pitch, while lower frequency results in a lower pitch.

Front

What is the effect of a sound wave traveling through different mediums?

Back

Sound travels at different speeds in different mediums; it travels fastest in solids, slower in liquids, and slowest in gases.
