Study Notes
Echolocation
- Sound is emitted from a source.
- The time taken for the reflected sound wave to return is used to determine the object's location.
- The amplitude of the returning wave indicates the size of the object.
- The direction of the returning wave indicates the object's direction.
Sound Wave Properties
- Sound waves are longitudinal waves.
- Changes in pitch (frequency) result in changes in the sound wave.
- Changes in volume (amplitude) result in changes in the sound wave.
