Sound. Sound Waves  Sound waves are longitudinal waves.  The source of a sound wave is a vibrating object.  Only certain wavelengths of longitudinal.

What is a sound wave? Mechanical wave – longitudinal *A vibration *Particles of medium are disturbed *Causes a wave causes Most common medium is air Can.

Reflection A wave is reflected when it comes into contact with a barrier A wave is reflected when it comes into contact with a barrier Law of Reflection.

17.4 Sound and Hearing Sound waves are longitudinal waves that travel through a medium. Many behaviors of sound can be explained by using a few properties:

1.Sound must have a medium through which to travel. Through which medium – solid, liquid, or gas – does sound travel faster? 2.How are different musical.

Making Sound a longitudinal wave produced when matter vibrates – this in turn, causes the medium in which it is in to vibrate ex: tuning fork (the matter)

Properties Of Sound Sound waves are produced as longitudinal waves by compressions and rarefactions in matter. The medium for sound waves can be solid,

What is sound? Sound is a longitudinal wave which travels through the air through a series of compressions and rarefactions.

Sound Waves, Pitch, and Loudness INTRODUCTION TO SOUND Sound Waves, Pitch, and Loudness

How Does Sound Travel? Sound waves are produced by vibrations. Sound travels as longitudinal waves. Sound waves travel in all directions.

Sound Waves, Medium, and Speed Sound requires a medium. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum. When there is no air, there is no sound. The speed of sound… Changes when the medium changes. Sound usually travels faster in denser media. Depends on temperature. Sound travels faster in warmer temperatures.

Sound Waves, Pitch, and Frequency The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency of the sound wave. High Frequency = High Pitch Low Frequency = Low Pitch

What Frequencies Can We Hear? Humans can hear frequencies between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz. Younger people can generally hear higher frequencies; as you age, you lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds.

Page 8-9 Frequency of wave determines pitch of sound! Normal range is 50 to 15,000 Hz (changes with age) What range can you hear?

Doppler Effect The Doppler effect occurs when the source of the sound is moving relative to the listener. Example: Police Siren As the police car moves toward you, the siren has a higher pitch. As the police car moves away from you, the siren has a lower pitch.

Sound Waves and Loudness The amplitude of a sound wave determines its loudness (or volume). High Amplitude = More Energy = Loud Sound Small Amplitude = Less Energy = Quiet Sound

Measuring Loudness The loudness of a sound is measured in units called decibels (dB). For every 10 dB, the intensity of the noise gets 10X louder. Continued exposure to noise at 85 dB and higher cause hearing loss.
