ELABORATE Vibrating object can be represented by a sine curve SECTION: 12.1 In sound waves, the vibrations of air molecules are parallel to the direction Sound of wave motion. Thus, sound waves are longitudinal. The simplest Waves longitudinal wave produced by a vibrating object can be represented by a sine curve. Thus, the sine curve represents the changes in air pressure due HS PS 2-6,4-1 to the propagation of the sound waves. Note that Figure shows an idealized case.

Key words Compression Rarefaction Pitch Doppler Effect What are the differences between infrasonic, audible, and ultrasonic sound waves? EXPLAIN Frequency determines pitch SECTION: 12.1 How can we Relate the frequency and pitch? Sound Waves  The frequency of an audible sound wave determines how high or low we perceive the sound to be, which is known as pitch. HS PS 2-6,4-1  As the frequency of a sound wave increases, the pitch rises. Learning Objective: The frequency of a wave is an objective quantity that can be measured, IWBAT while pitch refers to how different frequencies are perceived by the human Explain how ear. sound waves are Pitch depends not only on produced. frequency but also on other Key words factors, such as background Compression noise and loudness. Rarefaction What is the difference between Pitch Doppler frequency and pitch? Effect Frequency is the rate of particle vibration. Pitch is a quality that depends on the listener. EXPLORE Compare the speed of sound in various media. SECTION: 12.1 The speed of sound depends on the medium. Sound  Because waves consist of particle vibrations, the speed of a wave depends on how quickly Waves one particle can transfer its motion to another particle. For example, sound waves generally travel faster through solids than through gases because the molecules of a solid are closer HS PS 2-6,4-1 together than those of a gas are.

Sound As temperature rises, the particles of a gas collide Waves more frequently. Thus, in a gas, the disturbance can HS PS 2-6,4-1 spread faster at higher temperatures than at lower temperatures. In liquids and solids, the particles are Learning close enough together that the difference due to Objective: temperature changes is less noticeable.

In 20°C air, these pulses Key words would travel 342.9 m/s. How can you account for this Compression difference in speed? Rarefaction Pitch Sound waves travel faster through water than Doppler through air because the molecules of water Effect are closer together and, as a result, can spread vibrations more quickly.

Stirring in the powder Rarefaction introduces gas bubbles that reduce the speed of sound Pitch of the liquid and lower the frequency (pitch) of the Doppler Effect waves. Once the bubbles clear, the speed of sound and the frequency increase again. EXIT TICKET SECTION: 12.1 1.Why can a dog hear a sound produced by a dog whistle, but its owner cannot? Sound A.

Key words Compression Rarefaction Pitch Doppler Effect SECTION: 12.1 EXPLAIN THE DOPPLER EFFECT Sound Although the frequency of the siren remains constant, the wave fronts reach Waves an observer in front of the ambulance (Observer A) more often than they HS PS 2-6,4-1 would if the ambulance were stationary. The reason is that the source of the sound waves is moving toward the observer. The speed of sound in the Learning air does not change, because the speed depends only on the temperature Objective: of the air. Thus, the product of wavelength and frequency remains IWBAT constant. Because the wavelength is less, the frequency heard by Observer Recognize A is greater than the source frequency. For the same reason, the wave the Doppler fronts reach an observer behind the ambulance (Observer B) less often effect and than they would if the ambulance were stationary. As a result, the determine the direction of a frequency heard by Observer B As this ambulance moves to the left, frequency is less than the source frequency. Observer A hears the siren at a higher This frequency shift is known as the frequency than the driver does, while shift. Observer B hears a lower frequency. Doppler effect. Key words You are at a street corner and Compression hear an ambulance siren. Rarefaction Without looking, how can you tell Pitch when the ambulance passes by? Doppler The siren’s pitch will drop. Effect SECTION: 12.1 EXTEND Sound waves propagate in three dimensions Sound Sound waves travel away from a vibrating source in all three dimensions. When a musician Waves plays a saxophone in the middle of a room, the resulting sound can be heard throughout the room because the sound waves spread out in all directions. The wave fronts of sound HS PS 2-6,4-1 waves spreading in three dimensions are approximately spherical. The circles represent the centers of compressions, called wave fronts.

Reflected sound waves allow effect and a dolphin to form an image of the object that reflected the waves. determine the Dolphins can produce sound waves with frequencies ranging from 0.25 direction of a kHz to 220 kHz, but only those at the upper end of this spectrum are frequency used in echolocation.
