Brandi plays the piano. When she presses the middle of her piano, a sound with a frquency of 261.6 Hz is produced. The lowest note her piano has a frequency of is 27.5 Hz and the highest not has a frequency of 4,186 Hz. Which of these frequencies will travel with the fastest speed?
261.6 Hz
27.5 Hz
4186 Hz
They will all travel the same speed
Hayden is an excellent singer. She sings a song that focuses on sounds at frequencies of 327 Hz, 946 Hz and 1,890 Hz. Which of these frequencies will reach the audiences ears first.
327 Hz
946 Hz
1890 Hz
All the frequencies travel at the same speed
As sound wavelength become shorter, their frequencies become higher.
True
False
The band was playing while the door was shut. Mrs. Danielson was in her room teaching. Mrs. Danielson's class was able to hear the band playing. Explain how the sound transferred from the instruments to the Mrs. Danielson's students' eardrums.
The instruments created vibrations in the air.
Vibrations in the air created vibrations in the door's matter.
The vibrations in the door caused the air on the other side of door to vibrate.
The vibrations continued to travel down the hall until they reached the students' ears.
Only vibrations in the air are able to produce sound.
True
False
A sound wave traveling through the air enters a body of water. What effect will this have on the sound?
The sound's speed will change.
The sound's wavelength will change.
The sound's frequency will change.
The sound's speed and wavelength will change.
Cali is playing piano. Key 1 produces a sound that has a wavelength of 1 meter, key 2 produces a sound that has a wavelength of 2 meters, and key 3 produces a sound that has a wavelength of 3 meters. If Cali presses all 3 keys at the same time for a chord, which of the following is most likely true.
All three sounds will reach Cali's ears at the same time.
Sound 1 will reach Cali's ears first.
Sound 3 will reach Cali's ears last.
Sound 3 will reach Cali's ears first.
Describe the difference in the pitch of sounds generated by a semi generating a low frequency and a semi generating a high frequency.
The sound produced by the semi generating low frequency will be low in pitch.
The sound produced by the semi generating low frequency will be high in pitch.
The sound produced by the semi generating high frequency will be low in pitch.
The sound produced by the semi generating high frequency will be high in pitch.
One semi is generating a low frequency and another semi is generating a high frequency. Describe how the wavelengths between the two sounds would differ.
The semi with the low frequency will have longer wavelengths.
The semi with the low frequency will have shorter wavelengths.
The semi with the high frequency will have longer wavelengths.
The semi with the high frequency will have shorter wavelengths.

A
B
C
D
The speed that a pressure wave can travel through matter increases at the attraction between the matter's atoms or molecules increases.
True
False

Her second note had a higher frequency than the first.
Her first note had a higher frequency than the first.
Her second note had a faster speed & higher frequency than the first.
Her first note had a slower speed and lower frequency than the first.
Below are pictures of vibrations from a standing wave. Which of those pictures marks off exactly one wavelength?
