Sound
2
What does sound travel through?
3
  • Solids, Liquids, and Gases

4
What does sound not travel through?
5
  • Vacuum

6
What causes sound?
7
  • Vibrations

8

10
What does a wave with a low pitch look like?
11
(No Transcript)
12
What does a wave with a high pitch look like?
13
(No Transcript)
14
What is the top of a wavelength called?
15
  • Crest

16
What is the bottom of a wavelength called?
17
  • Trough

18
How do we measure wavelengths?
19
  • From Crest to Crest

20
Why does sound travel faster along a metal fence
than a swimming pool?
21
  • The molecules are closer together in a solid

22
How is the sound you hear underwater different
from the sound you hear in air?
23
  • The sound underwater travels faster than in the
    air

24
What is the number of times a sound vibrates in
one second called?
25
  • Frequency

26
What is the highness or lowness of a sound called?
27
  • Pitch

28
What is the relationship between pitch and
frequency?
29
  • The greater the frequency, the higher the pitch

30
What pitch do shorter strings produce?
31
  • High
  • (they vibrate faster)

32
What pitch do longer strings produce?
33
  • Low
  • (they vibrate slower)

34
What do animals use to help detect objects?
35
  • Echolocation

36
Why cant people hear some sounds that animals
can?
37
  • The pitch is either too high or too low

38
What device is used to detect objects moving
through air or space?
39
  • Radar

40
What type of device is used to locate objects
moving underwater?
41
  • Sonar
