The pitch of a sound is directly related to the sound's _______.
frequency
The loudness of a sound is directly related to the wave's _____.
amplitude
Sound waves will transfer fastest through _______.
solids
Sound waves is produced by ______________.
vibration of an object.
[T/F] : Sound travels the FASTEST through air.
False
High frequency = _______ Pitch
High
The ______ of a sound depends on the medium through which it's moving.
speed
Will a LOUD sound will have a high or low amplitude?
High amplitude
Which travels faster, light or sound?
Light
Will sound be absorbed or reflected by these objects: brick, concrete, glass, tile, wood
Reflected
Will sound be reflected or absorbed by these objects: hair, cotton, carpet, flag, pillow
Absorbed
What shape does sound travel in?
waves
Why will sound echo in an empty room? explain your answer.
Yes, because there are only hard surfaces so sound only reflects.
When Qi Zhe yells his name in a cave, the sound reflects off the walls of the cave and travels back to his ears. What is this sound called?
echo
[T/F] : Sound travels through a vacuum
False
Using particle theory, explain the speed of sound in solid and in gas medium.
solid particle closely pack together, the transfer the vibration faster than in other medium. Gas particles are far way from one another., transfer slower.
