Sound Waves

Front

What determines whether a sound has a high or low pitch?

Back

The frequency of the sound waves determines whether a sound has a high or low pitch.

Front

What does high amplitude mean in terms of sound?

Back

High amplitude means louder sounds.

Front

Which wavelength corresponds to a high pitch sound like a flute?

Back

High frequency wavelength corresponds to a high pitch sound.

Front

What does low amplitude indicate about a sound?

Back

Low amplitude indicates quieter sounds.

Front

In which medium do sound waves travel the fastest?

Back

Sound waves travel the fastest in solids.

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 amplitude in the context of sound waves?

Back

Amplitude refers to the height of the sound wave, which determines the loudness of the sound.

Front

How does temperature affect the speed of sound in air?

Back

The speed of sound increases with an increase in temperature.

Front

What is a sound wave?

Back

A sound wave is a type of mechanical wave that travels through a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) and is caused by vibrating objects.

Front

What is the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves?

Back

Longitudinal waves have particles that move parallel to the direction of the wave, while transverse waves have particles that move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
