Sound Waves _ Practice

Front

What is Amplitude?

Back

Amplitude is the height of a sound wave, which determines the volume of the sound. A higher amplitude means a louder sound.

Front

What does Medium refer to in sound waves?

Back

Medium is the substance or material through which sound waves travel, such as air, water, or solids.

Front

What is Frequency in the context of sound?

Back

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

Front

How does a higher amplitude affect sound?

Back

A higher amplitude results in a louder sound.

Front

What is Pitch?

Back

Pitch is the perceived frequency of a sound, determining how high or low a sound seems to a listener.

Front

What happens to sound when the distance increases?

Back

As the distance from the sound source increases, the sound becomes softer.

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 Zero Line in a sound wave?

Back

The Zero Line is the baseline level of a wave, representing the point of no displacement.

Front

How can you tell if one sound is louder than another?

Back

You can tell if one sound is louder by comparing the amplitudes of their sound waves; the one with the higher amplitude is louder.

Front

What is the difference between Sound C and Sound D if Sound C has a lower pitch?

Back

Sound C is perceived as having a deeper or more bass-like quality compared to Sound D.
