Sound Energy

What is the relationship between frequency and pitch?

• The greater the frequency, the greater the pitch.
• The greater the frequency, the lower the pitch.

All sound is energy that travels through a

• hallway
• microphone
• medium
• liquid

Sound travels in waves.

• true
• False

According to the diagram of the ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM, which type of wave has the most amount of energy.

• radio
• infrared
• ultraviolet
• gamma ray

A wave's intensity. It is the maximum distance a wave carries the particles of a medium from its original position. This is called the sound's ________________.

• amplitude
• frequency
• hertz
• medium

If I want to turn up the volume, I need to increase the

• radio
• hertz
• wavelength
• amplitude

A wave that has a frequency of 2 Hz per second would have a lot of energy.

• true
• False

The height of the wave will determine how loud or quiet a sound is.

• true
• False

The number of waves produced during a given amount of time is called the wave's __________________.

• frequency
• wavelength
• amplitude
• pitch

Which statement does NOT describe the relationship between amplitude and volume?

• The higher the amplitude, the higher the volume.
• The higher the amplitude, the lower the volume.
• The lower the amplitude, the lower the volume.
