Sound Flashcards
Sound
Sound Is A Longitudinal Wave requiring a medium
Cannot be polarised
Sound travels at different speeds through different media travels faster in denser materials
Travels fatter in hot air than cold air
Demonstration showing sound
Properties of sound
Refelction ;Echoes
Refraction ;cold air : sound travels slower
Warm air ; sound travels faster
Diffraction ; sound spreads around corners and through gaps
Interference
Demo to show sound is a wave motion
Loudness of sound
Depends on the amplitude of the sound wave
Pitch of sound
Depends on the frequency of the sound wave
Quality
Depends on the overtones of the sound waves and fundamental frequency
Resonance
Demo of resonance
Doppler effect
the apparent change of a frequency due to relative motion between the observer and the source
Doppler effect demonstration
