Sound Waves part 2

Front

What happens to the volume when you increase the amplitude of a sound wave?

Back

The volume increases.

Front

What type of pitch does nails on a chalkboard produce?

Back

A high pitch.

Front

What kind of sound is produced by a mouse squeaking?

Back

A low energy sound.

Front

What does a sound wave carry from one place to another?

Back

Energy.

Front

What is the definition of wavelength in a wave?

Back

The distance between two consecutive points in phase on a wave, such as crest to crest or trough to trough.

Front

How does frequency relate to pitch?

Back

Higher frequency results in a higher pitch, while lower frequency results in a lower pitch.

Front

What is amplitude in the context of sound waves?

Back

The maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, which determines the loudness of the sound.

Front

What is the relationship between energy and amplitude in sound waves?

Back

Higher amplitude means more energy, resulting in a louder sound.

Front

What is the difference between sound waves and light waves?

Back

Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to travel through, while light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum.

Front

What is a sound wave?

Back

A sound wave is a longitudinal wave that is created by vibrating objects and travels through a medium (solid, liquid, or gas).
