1
The distance from the middle of one compression to the middle of the next
2
Wavelength
3
The sound of a large bell is (lower/higher) than the sound of a small bell
4
LOWER Bigger bell vibrates slower = lower pitch
5
place where the air molecules are pressed together
6
compression
7
Percussion instruments played by ______________
8
HITTING
9
between the compressions, the molecules spread apart
10
Rarefaction/expansion
11
To move rapidly back and forth
12
vibrate
13
The pitch will be lower if the tension of the string (increases/decreases)
14
DECREASE If the string is looser(decrease in tension), it will vibrate slower = lower pitch
15
how high or low sound,
16
pitch
17
A wave that carries sound energy
18
Longitudinal Wave
19
A material through which a wave travels
20
medium
21
Long strings have (higher/lower) pitch than short ones
22
LOWER Longer strings vibrate slower = lower pitch
23
Unit of measure for loudness of sound
24
DECIBELS
25
The distance that a vibrating object moves as it vibrates
26
amplitude
27
the number of vibrations(sound waves) per second
28
Wave Frequency
29
form of energy produced by a vibrating object
30
sound
31
low pitch means _______frequency
32
low
33
the height of the sound wave
34
amplitude
35
Sound energy travels (inward or outward) from a vibrating object
36
outward
37
Sound travels faster through ________ (solid, liquid, or gas)
38
solid
39
Height or distance of a sound wave
40
amplitude
41
Opposite of compression
42
rarefaction
43
A measurement of the loudness of sound
44
DECIBEL
45
The higher the amplitude, the ________ the sound
46
louder
47
sound waves are ________ waves
48
longitudinal
49
How high or low a sound is
50
pitch
51
The more energy you put into an instrument, the _________ the sound
52
louder
53
Low frequency, ________ pitch
54
low
55
Sound is made when something ___________
56
vibrates
57
How many wavelengths?
58
3
59
Which diagram has a higher pitch?
60
The diagram on the left – if has a higher frequency (more wavelengths per second)
61
Which if louder?
62
The diagram on the right has a higher amplitude which means it has a louder sound.
63
Write what type of wave – blue and red waves
64
Label the parts of the waves Wavelength Crest
