Sound Flashcards
particles are closest together
compression
particles are furthest apart
rarefaction
distance between successive wave crests
wavelength
no. of wave crests that move past given point in given unit of time
frequency
height of the crest/ depth of the trough
amplitude
sound power per unit area
intensity
produced by vibrations of any medium; particle to particle interaction
sound propagation
how fast disturbance is passed from particle to particle
speed
states of matter from fastest to slowest sound propagation
solid, liquid, gas
the denser the object, the ___ the sound
faster
closeness between molecules in material
density
density formula
mass over volume
greater elasticity, ___ sound
faster
speed of sound ___ when temperature of medium decreases
decreases
ave. speed of sound thru air formula
V= speed of sound in material + (0.6 m/s/ºC)(temperature)
