Question
Answer
the complete back and forth motion of an object   vibration  
🗑
what is sound created by?   vibrations  
🗑
a logitudinal wave caused by vibrations and carried through a substance   sound wave  
🗑
sound is transmitted through the --- and --- of particles   vibrations and collisions  
🗑
in what directions do sound waves travel from their source?   all directions  
🗑
a substance through which a wave can travel   medium  
🗑
does sound require a medium?   no  
🗑
study diagram of the ear   study diagram of the ear  
🗑
what does the speed of sound depend on?   the medium it is traveling through  
🗑
cooler medium = --- sound   slower  
🗑
how high or low a sound seems to be   pitch  
🗑
the number of crests or troughs that are made in a given amount of time   frequency  
🗑
are pitch and frequency related?   yes  
🗑
what is the doppler effect?   the apparent change in the frequency of a sound caused by the motion eiether the listener or the source of the sound  
🗑
a measure of how well a sound can be heard   loudness  
🗑
the largest distance the particles in a wave vibrate from their rest postion   amplitude  
🗑
larger amplitude = --- sound   louder  
🗑
what is the unit used to measure sound?   decibel  
🗑
what does an oscilloscope do?   graphs representations of sound waves  
🗑
bouncing back of a wave after it strikes a barrier   reflection  
🗑
what is a reflected sound wave called?   echo  
🗑
what do sounds best reflect off of?   smooth, hard surfaces  
🗑
the process of using reflected sound waves to find objects   echolocation  
🗑
what types of animals use echolocation?   bats, dolphins, abd beluga whales  
🗑
what does SONAR stand for?   sound navigation and ranging  
🗑
what is something that break the sound barrier?   a jet  
🗑
when two or more waves overlap   interference  
🗑
the explosive sound heard when a shock wave reaches your ears   sonic boom  
🗑
a pattern of vibration that looks like a wave that is standing still   standing wave  
🗑
frequencies at which waves are made   resonant frequencies  
🗑
lowest resonant frequecy=   fundemental frequency  
🗑
higher resonant frequencies=   overtones  
🗑
when an object vibration at or near a resonant frquency of a second object causes the second object the vibrate   resonance  
🗑
the result of several pitches mixing together through interference   sound quality  
🗑
what are the 3 types of instruments?   string,wind, and percussion  
🗑
what are the 2 groups of wind instruments?   woodwinds and brass  
🗑
any sound that is a random mix of frequencies   noise  
🗑
