Q

True or false, both light and sound absorb.

21
Q

Both carry energy? Light and sound? Naw or yah

22
Q

Both light and sound have frequency? lol yes or lol no

23
Q

The longer the wave length the _____ the frequency?

A

Longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency

24
Q

You can hear a lower pitch because?

A

The frequency is lower

25
You can hear a higher pitch because?
The frequency is higher
26
As an ambulance approaches, the siren's sound waves become more _______ ?
The siren's sound waves become more Frequent (Closer together)
27
As the ambulance drives away, the siren sound waves become less _____ ?
The Siren's sound waves become less frequent (Farther apart)
28
A sound source (Car train plane) moving towards an observer ______ the sound wave in front of it
Moving towards an observer COMPRESSES
29
What does ROY G BIV mean my dudes?
Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet
30
How are sound waves like ripples in a pond?
They radiate outward from a central point
31
What is the function of the ridges on your outer ear ?
They direct sound into your ear
32
Why does a pencil bend when dip into water
Refraction
33
What has to occur for a sound to form?
Vibration
34
What is vibration?
A rapid back and fourth motion
35
What does a vibration do to the air molecules that surround the object making the sound?
It causes them to vibrate too!
36
What type of wave is a sound wave
Longitudnal
37
Does sound wave travel in a straight line?
Sound waves travel out from the source in all direction
38
At room temperature (about 20*C or 68F) sound travels through air at about ___ meters per second
343 METERS PER SEC MY DUDE
39
The speed of sound depends on factors such as? | Two things
Temperature | Density
40
What is temperature?
An objective measurement of hot or cold duh?
41
if a sound wave is moving through hot substance (like me) will it be easier or harder for the wave to travel?
Harder
42
Why is it harder for sound wave to travel through hot substance?
Molecules at a higher temperature have more energy which cause faster vibrations
43
What is density?
The number of particles in a certain amount of substance
44
Which would transfer sound more quickly? Solid, liquid, or gas?
Solid because the particles of solid are more closer together than in a liquid and a gas.
45
Properties of sound? | 2 Things
Intensity/Volume | Pitch
46
What is loudness?
Your perception of the energy of a sound (loud or soft)
47
What is pitch?
Highness, or lowness of a sound.
48
What determines a pitch?
The number of waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time
49
The faster an object vibrates, the _______ the pitch and vice versa
The faster an object vibrates, the higher the pitch.
