Presentation on theme: "The distance from the middle of one compression to the middle of the next."— Presentation transcript:

1 The distance from the middle of one compression to the middle of the next

2 Wavelength

3 The sound of a large bell is (lower/higher) than the sound of a small bell

4 LOWER Bigger bell vibrates slower = lower pitch

5 place where the air molecules are pressed together

6 compression

7 Percussion instruments played by ______________

8 HITTING

9 between the compressions, the molecules spread apart

10 Rarefaction/expansion

11 To move rapidly back and forth

12 vibrate

13 The pitch will be lower if the tension of the string (increases/decreases)

14 DECREASE If the string is looser(decrease in tension), it will vibrate slower = lower pitch

15 how high or low sound,

16 pitch

17 A wave that carries sound energy

18 Longitudinal Wave

19 A material through which a wave travels

20 medium

21 Long strings have (higher/lower) pitch than short ones

22 LOWER Longer strings vibrate slower = lower pitch

23 Unit of measure for loudness of sound

24 DECIBELS

25 The distance that a vibrating object moves as it vibrates

26 amplitude

27 the number of vibrations(sound waves) per second

28 Wave Frequency

29 form of energy produced by a vibrating object

30 sound

31 low pitch means _______frequency

32 low

33 the height of the sound wave

34 amplitude

35 Sound energy travels (inward or outward) from a vibrating object

36 outward

37 Sound travels faster through ________ (solid, liquid, or gas)

38 solid

39 Height or distance of a sound wave

40 amplitude

41 Opposite of compression

42 rarefaction

43 A measurement of the loudness of sound

44 DECIBEL

45 The higher the amplitude, the ________ the sound

46 louder

47 sound waves are ________ waves

48 longitudinal

49 How high or low a sound is

50 pitch

51 The more energy you put into an instrument, the _________ the sound

52 louder

53 Low frequency, ________ pitch

54 low

55 Sound is made when something ___________

56 vibrates

57 How many wavelengths?

58 3

59 Which diagram has a higher pitch?

60 The diagram on the left – if has a higher frequency (more wavelengths per second)

61 Which if louder?

62 The diagram on the right has a higher amplitude which means it has a louder sound.

63 Write what type of wave – blue and red waves

64 Label the parts of the waves Wavelength Crest
