Waves transfer _________ fro, the spruce of the sound to its surroundings
Energy
Sound waves are
Sinusoidal waves that definite frequency, amplitude, and wavelength
Audible frequency
Frequency that can be perceived by human ears, is between 20Hz to 20,000Hz
Sound waves above 20,000Hz
Ultrasonic
Infrasonic - sound waves below
20Hz
Frequency & Pitch:
Frequency - number of waves(cycles) per given time.
Pitch - the sensation of frequency of a sound.
Th amplitude of a soundwave can be defined as the ______ or the ____________
1 Loudness
2 Amount or maximum displacement of vibrating particles of the medium from their equilibrium position
When the amplitude of a soundwave is large:
The the loudness of sound will be more.
More waves is _______ Less waves is ________
Higher pitch (More)
Lower pitch (Less)
Timbre
Quality or timbre
- allow the ear to distinguish sounds which have the same pitch and loudness
