10 Questions
Which variable affects the loudness of a sound?
The distance of each vibration
What happens to the loudness of a sound as the distance from the vibrating object increases?
It gets quieter
What is the relationship between loudness and the distance of each vibration in the object?
The greater the distance, the louder the sound
What is the relationship between loudness and the distance from the vibrating object?
The closer, the louder the sound
What is the role of energy dissipation in sound?
It makes the sound quieter
What is the definition of loudness?
Loudness is a way to describe how quiet or loud a sound appears.
What are the two variables that loudness depends on?
Loudness depends on how much the object is vibrating and how far away the vibrating object is.
Why do sounds get quieter when the distance from the vibrating object increases?
Sounds get quieter when the distance from the vibrating object increases because of energy dissipation.
What happens to the particles in air when a sound wave travels forward?
The particles in air move backwards and forwards when a sound wave travels forward.
What is the relationship between the distance of each vibration in the object and the distance that particles in air will be pushed and pulled?
The greater the distance of each vibration in the object, the greater the distance that particles in air will be pushed and pulled.
