Sound is caused by
noises
vibrations
vibrations that pass energy through a medium (particles)
a vacuum
What is the speed of sound in air?
300,000km/hr
30,000m/s
340 x 60 m/minute
the same as the speed of light
Sound can be measured in decibels. What does this measure?
the frequency of sound
the wavelength of sound
the pitch of sound
the amplitude of sound
How would you measure the speed (velocity) of sound?
Shout and ask a friend to time it.
Measure different distances and time how long sound took to travel that distance.
Take several measurements of d and t, plot d against t on a graph, and find the gradient to determine v
Ask a teacher.
Which of the following does an oscilloscope not do?
Measure the wavelength of sound.
Measure the frequency of a sound wave.
Show the amplitude of a sound wave.
Measure the speed of sound.
What type of wave is sound?
longitudinal
transverse
electro-magnetic
mechanical
Can sound pass through a vacuum and why/why not?
Yes, because a vacuum contains particles.
No, because a vacuum contains particles.
