38. How amplitude, intensity, & loudness are related  Intensity is the amount of energy that flows through a certain area in a specific amount of time.  Turning down volume reduces the energy carried by the sound waves and its intensity.

39. How amplitude, intensity, & loudness are related  Intensity affects how far a wave will travel.

40. How amplitude, intensity, & loudness are related  Intensity affects how far a wave will travel. Low intensity loses energy quickly High intensity travels farther

41. How amplitude, intensity, & loudness are related  Loudness is the way humans understand sound intensity. High intensity sounds make your eardrums vibrate further which in turn creates increased hair cell movements making you hear a loud sound instead of quiet one.

42. How is sound measured?  Loudness or intensity of sound is measured in decibels (dB).

43. How is sound measured?

44. The relationship between frequency and pitch  Pitch is how high or low a sound seems to be and is related to frequency of the sound waves.

45. The relationship between frequency and pitch  Frequency, measured in Hertz (Hz), refers to the number of wavelengths that pass by in 1 second.

46. The relationship between frequency and pitch  Frequency, measured in Hertz (Hz), refers to the number of wavelengths that pass by in 1 second. High frequency means many compressions hit your ear each second resulting in high pitch

60. Natural frequencies  Every material will vibrate at its natural frequencies dependent upon: Thickness Length Tightness

61. Every musical instrument…  Contains something that vibrates at its natural frequencies to create a pitch. Strings- guitar, violin Membrane- drum column of air- flute, oboe

62. Resonance  The ability of a medium to vibrate by absorbing energy at its own natural frequency.  Resonance helps amplify the sound of many musical instruments.

63. Sound Quality  Describes the differences among sounds of the same pitch and loudness.  Each instrument has its own sound quality.  Main tone that is played & heard is called the fundamental frequency.

64. Overtones  Vibration with a frequency that is a multiple of the fundamental.

65. Overtones  Suppose a guitar vibrates at a fundamental frequency of 250 Hz. Multiples of 250 are 500 Hz, 750 Hz, 1000 Hz and so on.  Overtones create the rich sounds of a guitar.  Every instrument has a different number & intensity of overtones.

66. How do string instruments produce sound?  Plucking, striking, or moving a bow across a string produces sound.

67. How do string instruments produce sound?  Plucking, striking, or moving a bow across a string produces sound.  A resonator is a hollow space filled with air that makes sound louder when the air inside it vibrates.

68. How do string instruments produce sound?  Plucking, striking, or moving a bow across a string produces sound.  A resonator is a hollow space filled with air that makes sound louder when the air inside it vibrates.  Ex. Violins, electric guitars, harps
