12. Test Questions

13. Question 17
A property of wave is an important measurements of sound. It explains how fast the sound waves are oscillating. It is different than how fast the wave travels through the medium. The faster the sound wave oscillates the higher pitch it will have. For example, on a guitar a big heavy string will vibrate slowly and create a low sound or pitch. A thinner lighter string will vibrate faster and create a high sound or pitch. The pitch of a musical sound depends on the sound wave's (8.P.3.A.3)
a. wavelength.
b. frequency.
c. speed.
d. amplitude.

14. Question 18

25. BEHAVIOR OF WAVES
Standard 8.P.3 Students will demonstrate an understanding of the properties and behaviors of waves.
Performance Indicator
8.P.3A.4 Analyze and interpret data to describe the behavior of mechanical waves as they intersect.

26. Interference Waves interfere with each other.
Interference is the interaction between waves that meet.
The extremes of what can happen are called constructive interference and destructive interference

27. CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE
Interference may be constructive:
○  A crest will interfere with another crest constructively to produce a larger crest and a trough will interfere to produce a larger trough.
○  Compressions interfere constructively with each other as do rarefactions.
Constructive Interference – 2 waves combine to form a new wave with a larger amplitude.

28. CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE

29. DESTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE
Interference may be destructive:
○ A crest will interfere with a trough to lessen or cancel the displacement of each.
Compressions interfere with rarefactions to lessen or cancel the displacement of each.
Destructive Interference – 2 waves combine to produce a wave with a smaller amplitude.

33. SOUND WAVES
Sound waves interfere with each other changing what you hear.
○  Destructive interference makes sounds quieter; constructive interference makes sounds louder.
○  Sound waves reflect in tubes or some musical instruments to produce standing waves which
reinforce sound through constructive interference to make the sound louder.

34. PITCH is the human perception of frequency.
How high or how low a sound seems to be depends on frequency.
High notes have high frequencies, and low notes have low frequencies.

35. Left person hears lower f due to longer λ.
The Doppler effect can be described as the effect produced by a moving source of waves in which there is an apparent upward shift in frequency for observers towards whom the source is approaching and an apparent downward shift in frequency for observers from whom the source is receding.
Left person hears lower f due to longer λ.
Sound source moving with vs
Apparent f0 is affected by motion.
Right person hears a higher f due to shorter λ.
