1 Pitch How “high or low” a sound seems to be. (Bass vs. Treble) High pitch = high frequency [http://www.bionicear-europe.com/photos/high&low_pitch_en.jpg]

2 Pitch Average human can hear between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz Most sensitive between 440 Hz and 7000 Hz

4 Pitch Doppler Effect The pitch of a sound changes as an object moves Click here for a visual of the Doppler Effect. [http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/waves/u10l3d3.gif]

5 Resonance Sound waves transfer energy to another object which causes the other object to vibrate too. Click here for demonstration videos Click here for resonance breaking glass videos.

6 Sound Interference Destructive – Sound waves cancel the amplitudes and decrease the loudness (amplitude) of the wave. Click here for a destructive interference video clip.

7 Sound Interference Constructive – Sound waves combine the amplitudes and increase the loudness of the wave.

8 Sound Interference Beats are formed when the two sound waves have slightly different frequencies. [http://library.thinkquest.org/C005705/English/Images/Images/pictures/beats.gif] Click here for a Beats Applet

9 A combination of doppler effect & constructive interference…
