2. 16.2 Notes Pitch depends on frequency of a sound wave.
The characteristic of highness or lowness of a sound is called pitch

3. 16.2 Notes
A low pitch would have a low frequency and a long wavelength.
A high pitch would have a high frequency and a short wavelength.

4. 16.2 Notes Frequency is measured in waves per second.
The unit for frequency is Hertz(Hz).

6. 16.2 Notes
Sound waves with a frequency of below 20 Hz are called infrasound and can’t be heard by humans.
Elephants use infrasound to communicate over long distances, sometimes up to 20 miles away.

7. 16.2 Notes
Sound waves with a frequency of above 20,000 Hz are called ultrasound and can’t be heard by humans.
Dolphins and bats use ultrasound to find prey in dark environments.

8. In your journal Draw a sound wave with a Low Pitch
Draw a sound wave with a High Pitch
Use the words Pitch, Wavelength and Frequency to explain your drawings

10. Kids Be Gone
Kids have more hair cells in the cochlea so they can pick up a wider range of sound.
High Frequency sounds do not damage hearing, but loud sounds do.
Do you think its fair to use high frequency sounds as a deterrent against kids?
