Sound

The video explores the science of sound, explaining its nature as energy and how it travels through different media. It covers sound wave properties like amplitude and frequency, and how they are measured. The video also discusses echolocation and factors affecting sound travel, such as medium density and temperature.

What is the basic nature of sound as described in the introduction?

• Sound is a solid object.

• Sound is a type of energy.

• Sound is a form of light.

• Sound is a type of liquid.

How do sound waves travel through different mediums?

• Sound waves can travel without a medium.

• Sound waves travel faster in gases than in solids.

• Sound waves require a medium like air, water, or solids to travel.

• Sound waves can only travel in a vacuum.

What is the unit of measurement for the amplitude of sound?

• Watts

• Decibels

• Meters

• Hertz

Which property of sound determines its pitch?
