Front

What is a sound wave?

Back

A sound wave is a type of wave that carries sound through a medium, such as air, water, or solids.

Front

What determines the pitch of a sound?

Back

The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of the sound wave; higher frequencies produce higher pitches.

Front

What is frequency in relation to sound waves?

Back

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

Front

What is a low pitch sound?

Back

A low pitch sound is produced by sound waves with a lower frequency, resulting in deeper sounds, like a bass drum.

Front

What is a high pitch sound?

Back

A high pitch sound is produced by sound waves with a higher frequency, resulting in sharper sounds, like a whistle.

Front

How can you identify a low pitch sound visually?

Back

A low pitch sound wave has longer wavelengths and fewer waves per second compared to high pitch sound waves.

Front

How can you identify a high pitch sound visually?

Back

A high pitch sound wave has shorter wavelengths and more waves per second compared to low pitch sound waves.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Back

Frequency and wavelength are inversely related; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.

Front

What is an example of a low pitch sound?

Back

An example of a low pitch sound is the sound of a tuba or a foghorn.

Front

What is an example of a high pitch sound?

Back

An example of a high pitch sound is the sound of a flute or a whistle.
