What type of wave is shown below?
Name all the characteristics of the wave shown below.
What type of wave is a sound wave?
Draw a longitudinal (compression) wave and label a wavelength, compression and rarefaction.
In longitudinal waves, the vibrations move in a direction ___________ to the direction in which the wave travels.
In transverse waves, the vibrations move in a direction _____________ to the direction in which the wave travels.
The greater the ____________ of the sound wave, the greater the energy carried by the wave. Therefore, the ____________ the sound is.
Why does sound move better through a solid?
____________ is how high or low
a sound is.
The ___________ the wavelength, the ________ the frequency.
Which of the two longitudinal
waves has the higher
frequency? How do you know?
Why does sound move slower in gases?
Does wave C or D have the lowest pitch? How do you know?
Which wave is the loudest, A or B? How do you know?
Do sound waves travel through space? Why or Why not?
Which air temperature hot or cold would sound move faster (assume the distance between molecules is the same)? Why?
