10 Questions
What is the wavelength of a sound wave?
The distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions
What is the amplitude of a sound wave?
The maximum displacement of particles from their rest position
Explain the relationship between pitch and frequency in sound waves.
Higher frequency corresponds to higher pitch
Define the frequency of a sound wave.
The number of compressions or rarefactions passing a point per unit time
How does the speed of sound change with temperature?
The speed of sound increases with increasing temperature
What is the range of human hearing?
20 Hz to 20,000 Hz
Explain how sound intensity is related to the amplitude of a sound wave.
Higher amplitude corresponds to higher sound intensity
What is the threshold of hearing?
The lowest intensity of sound that can be heard by the human ear
Explain the concept of resonance in sound waves.
When a sound wave matches the natural frequency of an object, causing it to vibrate with increased amplitude
How does the Doppler effect apply to sound waves?
It causes a change in frequency and perceived pitch as the source of sound moves relative to the observer
