Understanding Sound Waves and Properties

Front

What does the pitch of a sound depend on?

Back

The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency of the wave.

Front

When a sound is louder, what measurement gets bigger?

Back

When a sound is louder, the amplitude of the wave increases.

Front

The measure of how high or low a sound is:

Back

The frequency.

Front

What is the rate at which sound waves occur?

Back

Frequency.

Front

Which sound wave has high frequency?

Back

Sound wave 4.

Front

What is amplitude in relation to sound waves?

Back

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

Front

Define frequency in the context of sound waves.

Back

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

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 happens to the amplitude of a sound wave when it is quieter?

Back

The amplitude decreases.

Front

What is wavelength in sound waves?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave.
