Question
Answer
show the vibrations of material objects.  
🗑
show correct  
🗑
show correct.  
🗑
show traveling pulses of high pressure zones, or compressions, altenating wth pulses of low-pressure zones, or rarefactions.  
🗑
show gases, liquids, and solids  
🗑
Soun cannot travel through:   show
🗑
Sound travels fastest through:   show
🗑
Every object vibrates at its own set of natural frequencies.   show
🗑
When an object such as a sounding board is forced to vibrate by a sound source, the sound becomes louder.   show
🗑
When an object is forced to vibrate at one of its own natural frequencies, resonance occurs and the sound becomes much louder.   show
🗑
show correct.  
🗑
show correct.  
🗑
All sounds are produced by:   show
🗑
How does sound work?   show
🗑
For all wave motion, it is not the medium that travels across the room, but   show
🗑
Do solids and liquids conduct better or worse than air?   show
🗑
show If there's nothing to compress and expand, there can be no sound. There may be vibrations, however.  
🗑
Sound is much slower than light.   show
🗑
show correct.  
🗑
show correct.  
🗑
show correct.  
🗑
The unit of intesity for sound is the decibel (dB), after Alexander Graham Bell(inventor of the telephone.)   show
🗑
A natural frequency is one at which minimum energy is required to produce forced vibrations. It is also the frequency that requires the least amountof enery to continue this vibration.   show
🗑
Natural frequency depends on what?   show
🗑
show WHen the frequency of a forced vibratio on an object matches the object's natual frequency, a dramatic increase in amplitude occurs. This phenomenon is called resonance.  
🗑
What does something need to resonate?   show
🗑
show correct  
🗑
The periodic vartion in the loudness of sound is called   show
🗑
