6. Sound Waves
In order for sound to be produced, something (the source) must vibrate.
Sound travels in longitudinal or compressional waves.

3.9 The student will recognize that sound is a form of energy. [P8C2]

7. Parts of the longitudinal wave:
Compression = Area where the particles are pressed together. Rarefaction = Area where the particles are spread apart. A wavelength is one whole compression and one whole rarefaction. Copy the diagram onto your left page.

10. Sound needs a source and a medium

11. Sound can only travel through a medium
A medium can be solid, liquid, or gas.
Sound waves travel through all of these.
3.3 The student will describe how waves move at different speeds in different materials. [P8C2]

12. Sound Waves
Speed of sound depends on the density (how close the particles) of the medium. Higher density = higher speed
Sound travels fastest in solids, followed by liquids, and slowest in air and gases. Vid
3.3 The student will describe how waves move at different speeds in different materials. [P8C2]
In dry air, sound travels at about 340 m/s.
In steel, sound travels at about 5960 m/s.
In water, sound travels at about 1482 ms/s.
Students may need to understand that some media, such as a desktop, contain solids and a lot of air.

13. Speed of Sound
In air = 340 m/s Water = 1480 m/s wood = 3850 m/s steel = 5200 m/s (fastest) Speed of sound increases as the temp. of a medium increases even though density decreases.

14. Sound travels through a medium.
Sound Waves
Sound travels through a medium.
Sound waves cannot travel without a medium, so no sounds in space.
Think: How could you hear a spaceship landing on the moon?
3.3 The student will describe how waves move at different speeds in different materials. [P8C2]

15. Sound waves are often represented as sine waves:
A crest corresponds to a compression and a trough corresponds to a rarefaction in the sound wave.

16. Waves transfer energy without transferring matter.
Frequency= waves/time

19. Amplitude= loudness or volume
Amplitude is the distance the particles of a medium move from their rest position. Wave amplitude determines the volume (loud or soft).

32. Sound Wave Phenomena
When a sound wave hits a new medium: 1. Some or all of it could be absorbed by soft materials. Absorbed sound energy turns into heat energy. Ex.

IQ: Which sound phenomena are occurring in the picture below (look on previous page for answer choices) Coolest things sound can do

41. Doppler effect of sound

42. Due to the motion of either the sound source or the observer.
Doppler Effect
The pitch of an approaching siren is higher than one moving away from the listener because the waves in the front are closer together (higher frequency) than the ones in the back.
Due to the motion of either the sound source or the observer.

Hears low pitch

48. Interesting fact
On October 15, 1997 the British built "Thrust SSC" vehicle became the first land based vehicle to break the sound barrier. To be official it had to break the sound barrier twice within one hour. It did this, with an average top speed on the two runs of Mach The runs took place in early in the day so that the temperature of the air (and the speed of sound) would be lower. As an interesting side note, this record was set one day after the 50th anniversary of the first supersonic flight made by Chuck Yeager on October 14, 1947 in the "Bell X-1."

49. Resonance
A standing wave occurs when there is constructive and destructive interference between a wave and its reflection. A portion of a wave is at rest and another portion has a large amplitude because of constructive interference.
A resonant frequency is a frequency at which an object vibrates at maximum amplitude and forms a standing wave.

50. Resonance
Resonance: When an object is vibrating at the same frequency as the resonant/natural frequency of another object, the second object starts to vibrate. Ex. Shaking windows when an airplane flies overhead, when a car shakes from the sound of a stereo.
