Chapter 5, Section 1 Sounds in Vibrating Strings

2/13/2012 HW: 5.1 PTG #1-5, pg. 490 Due Wed Learning Objective: – Describe the relationship between pitch, frequency, tension, and sound. – Write a conclusion that includes IV, DV, evidence, and the big idea. Success Criteria: – Observe the effect of string length on the pitch of the sound produced – Observe the effect of tension on the pitch of the sound produced – Control the variables of tension and length – Summarize experimental results New Seats Do Now: – Read Chapter Challenge pg – Write LO and SC on a new left- side page – WDYS/WDYT pg. 484 Agenda: – New Seats – Do Now – Investigate

Investigate Read #1-5 pg Create data table to record data from experiment

Length of Vibrating String (measure from the center of the cup to the pulley) # of 500g hanging masses Pitch (high, medium, low) High pitch sounds like the squeal of a vehicle’s brakes Low pitch sounds like the rumble of thunder 20cm cm cm cm1 2 4

Summary – Record Answers in Notebook When you increase the mass (add weights) to the string, the tension on the string increases. What happens to the pitch? When you increase the distance between the cup & the pulley, but keep the mass the same, what happens to the pitch?

Success Criteria: – Observe the effect of string length on the pitch of the sound produced – Observe the effect of tension on the pitch of the sound produced – Control the variables of tension and length – Summarize experimental results Do Now: – Look at your conclusion for 6b from yesterday. Does it have: IV and DV Evidence/Data Big Idea – What happened to the pitch as you changed the length of the string? – What happened to the pitch as you changed the mass on the hanger?
