How many states of matter are there? What are they?

Six: Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma, Bose-Einstein Condensate, Fermionic Condensate

What is the relationship between the energy of a sound and its volume?

They have no effect on each other

A substance through which something is transmitted

A person who communicates with spirits

What action does a sound source like a harp or drum perform?

It creates vibrations in the air.

How is sound received by the ear and transferred to the brain?

Through the auditory canal, eardrum, ossicles, cochlea, and auditory nerve

Directly through the skin to the brain

Via the bloodstream to the brain

What describes the motion of particles as sound travels?

Particles oscillate back and forth.

Particles move in a circular motion.

Particles move in a straight line.

More force applied to the sound source means more ______?

More distortion and less clarity

What is the relationship between energy and amplitude of a sound wave?

Energy is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude.

Energy is directly proportional to the amplitude.

Energy is independent of the amplitude.

Energy is inversely proportional to the amplitude.

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

They are inversely proportional.

They are directly proportional.

How does the state of matter in the medium affect sound travel?

Sound travels fastest in solids, slower in liquids, and slowest in gases.

Sound cannot travel through solids.

Sound travels at the same speed in all states of matter.

Sound travels fastest in gases, slower in liquids, and slowest in solids.

In an instrument that can produce multiple pitches, how is it accomplished?

By altering the tension of the vibrating element

By using different materials for the vibrating element

By changing the length of the vibrating element

Pitch is a term used to describe:

The perceived highness or lowness of a sound

What are three qualities of waves?

Amplitude, frequency, and wavelength

How could sound cause something (like a window) to move?

By creating vibrations that transfer energy to the object

By altering the color of the object

By increasing the mass of the object

By changing the temperature around the object

What happens to the peaks and valleys of a graph as the sound becomes softer?

They become smaller and smaller until the line is flat

Why do waves with greater amplitude transfer more energy than those with less amplitude?

Because they have higher frequency

Can sound travel in space/vacuum?

No, sound cannot travel in space.

Yes, sound can travel in space.

Why is hearing loss permanent?

Because the hair cells in the inner ear do not regenerate

Because the eardrum cannot be repaired

Because the auditory nerve is always damaged

Because the brain cannot process sound

How are shorter-length bars different from longer-length bars when struck?

Shorter bars produce higher-pitched sounds

Shorter bars produce the same sound as longer bars

Shorter bars produce lower-pitched sounds

How do louder sounds compare to softer sounds?

Louder sounds are higher in pitch

How does the amplitude of a motion graph relate to the loudness of a sound?

Louder sounds have higher amplitude

Louder sounds have lower amplitude

The amplitude of a sound does not affect its loudness

Amplitude only affects the frequency of a sound

What is pitch in relation to sound?

The frequency of the sound waves

The length of bars or tines in an instrument

The amplitude of the sound waves

What does amplitude represent in a graphical representation of a wave?

Amplitude is the maximum height of a wave from its rest position.

How are shorter-length bars different from longer-length bars when struck?

They produce a higher pitch sound

They produce a lower pitch sound

They produce the same pitch soundtunning tunning fork

What does frequency represent in a graphical representation of a wave?

Frequency represents the number of cycles per second in a wave.

Frequency shows the wavelength of a wave.

Frequency measures the speed of a wave.

Frequency indicates the amplitude of a wave.
