You have two glass jars. You want them to play different pitches, how do they need to be filled?
Fill them both all the way up
Make sure they are both empty
Fill them up to different levels
They will sound the same, because they are both water
How would someone know the sound the glass filled with water will make when it is tapped?
They will all sound the same.
They are all the same because it is water
There is no way to know until you tap it
The different amounts of water make different pitches
Otto wants to design a sound device for communicating over distances. He wants the device to create different pitches so that he can communicate different things. What type of objects should Otto use in his device?
objects that can vibrate slowly and quickly
objects that can make loud and soft sounds
The picture shows neighbors Derrick and Jill using two tin cans connected by a piece of string to talk.
How can they talk using cans and string?
by using heat energy from a their breath to send heat energy down the tight string to the other can
by causing vibrations with their voice to send sound energy down the tight string to the other can
Carlise is designing a device that will communicate through sound using two guitar strings. One string should have a low-pitched sound, which will mean the word "No", and the other string should have a high-pitched sound, which will mean "Yes". The picture shows the base of Carlise's design.
The dotted lines shows where the strings will go on the base. How should Carlise design the strings on her device to make one string high in pitch and one string low in pitch?
She should make the strings the same tightness and pluck one string hard, and one string softly.
She should make one string loose so that it vibrates quickly, and one string tight so that it vibrates slowly.
Dionne and Zoe are partners in science class. They have been asked to design a device that will communicate sound across a distance. Dionne thinks their device would work best if they used some kind of solid object to transfer the sound across a distance. Zoe, on the other hand, thinks their device would work better if it used the air to transfer the sound. Who is correct? Why?
Zoe because sound vibrations cannot travel through the particles in solids
Dionne because sound vibrations travel best through the particles in solids
The table shows the speed of sound traveling in four different materials.
