Cletus wants to make ear protectors for people who work around loud jet engines at Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta. Which of the following materials should he experiment with for the best results?

a material that transmits sound

a material that amplifies sound

Speed of sound waves travel depends on the

type of material through which the sound travels.

distance between the vibration source and the receiver.

size of the object making the sound.

type of device making the sound.

Sound is able to travel faster in solids than in air because

solid molecules are closer together than air

solid molecules are more easily moved than air

solid molecules are moving faster than air

solid molecules are larger than air molecules

A whistle produces a sound because blowing air in the whistle causes

the air inside the whistle to vibrate.

the air to be absorbed by the whistle.

the air in the whistle to heat up and expand.

pattern of compressions and rarefactions.

pattern of up and down vibrations.

Sound waves are also known as ----- waves.

Both longitudinal and compression

Sound is able to travel faster in solids than in air because the molecules in a solid are

closer together than air molecules

more easily moved than air molecules

moving faster than air molecules moving faster than air molecules

Which of the following provides an example of sound waves being reflected?

A noise producing an echo when bouncing off a distant wall.

Hearing music through a brick wall.

Water in a glass vibrating due to thunder.

Can sound travel in space?

No, sound needs a medium to travel through.

Why can't we hear explosions in space?

Space is a vacuum, there isn't matter for sound to travel through

The sound waves gain too much energy.

The sound waves bounce back and forth until they lose energy.

Particles in space absorb the sound waves.
