Sound

Front

What are the characteristics of a sound wave?

Back

Amplitude, Wavelength, Frequency, and Speed.

Front

What unit is used to measure sound intensity (loudness)?

Back

Decibels (dB).

Front

How does frequency affect pitch in sound waves?

Back

Higher frequency results in higher pitch.

Front

What is pitch in relation to sound?

Back

Pitch is how the human ear interprets frequency.

Front

Why can't sound travel in space?

Back

There is no medium in space for sound to travel through.

Front

What is amplitude in sound waves?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.

Front

What is wavelength in sound waves?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between successive crests of a wave, typically measured in meters.

Front

What is frequency in sound waves?

Back

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

Front

What is the speed of sound?

Back

The speed of sound is the distance traveled per unit of time by a sound wave through a medium.

Front

What is the relationship between sound waves and energy?

Back

Sound waves carry energy through vibrations in a medium.
