5.5 Sound Review

Sound can be defined as -- 

• 1. compression waves that travel through a vacuum​

• 1. a form of mechanical energy produced and transmitted by vibrating matter​

• 1. a form of radiant energy transmitted into mechanical energy​

• 1. electricity that is produced and transmitted

As sound waves travel, parts of the waves are bunched close together. This is called -- 

• 1. a rarefaction wave​

• 1. the pitch​

• 1. a compression wave​

• 1. the frequency

In sound waves, energy is transferred through --

• 1. vibrating matter​

• 1. light particles​

• 1. heat waves​

• 1. electrons

What best describes the relationship between vibration and pitch?

• 1. The slower the vibration, the higher the pitch.

• 1. The faster the vibration, the higher the pitch.

• 1. The faster the vibration, the lower the pitch.​

• The slower the vibration, the lower the pitch.

What happens to sound in a vacuum?

• 1. The pitch is lowered.​

• 1. The sound cannot travel.​

• 1. The sound is amplified.​

• 1. The frequency increases.

Sound will travel fastest through -- 

• 1. water at the bottom of the ocean​

• 1. water at the shallow end of a swimming pool​

• 1. a block of wood​

• 1. the air in a classroom

In which situation will sound NOT be produced?

• 1. large meteors crashing in outer space​

• 1. a police officer blowing a whistle

• 1. a whale singing in the ocean​

• 1. someone knocking on a metal door

 What does this person with the glass against the wall know about how sound travels?

• 1. Sound travels slowest through solids.​

• 1. Sound travels fastest through gases.​

• 1. Sound travels slowest through liquids.​

• 1. Sound travels fastest through solids.

The particles of a gas are farther apart than the particles in other phases of matter; therefore -- 

• 1. sound travels the fastest through gases​

• 1. sound travels slower in solids than in gases​

• 1. sound travels the fastest through liquids​

• 1. sound travels the slowest through gases

From slowest to fastest, what is the order the sound waves would travel through the medium?

• 1. a table, water, air​

• 1. air, water, a table​

• 1. water, air, a table​

• 1. a table, air, water
