MEANINGS

Page 3: Sound revision powerpoint

340M/S

This is the speed of sound in the air

Page 4: Sound revision powerpoint

AMPLITUDE

The length from the crest/ through to the change in state

Crest

Trough

Page 5: Sound revision powerpoint

WAVE LENGTH

From one point to another similar point

Page 6: Sound revision powerpoint

DECIBELS

The measurement of the loudness of sound

dB

Page 7: Sound revision powerpoint

COMPRESSION

Closer together sound wave, higher pressure

Compressions

Page 8: Sound revision powerpoint

RAREFRACTION

Further apart sound waves, low pressure

Rarefractions

Page 9: Sound revision powerpoint

FREQUENCY

Pitch of sound

Page 10: Sound revision powerpoint

OSCILLOSCOPE

Hardware that measures the pitch/frequency

Page 11: Sound revision powerpoint

20KHZ The highest pitch a human can hear on average

20KHz

Page 12: Sound revision powerpoint

OVERTONES

Noises that different animals/people can recognise

Page 13: Sound revision powerpoint

1500M/S

This is the speed of sound in water

Page 14: Sound revision powerpoint

OSCILLATION

Is the movement of backwards and forwards

(can’t find a picture, sorry )

Page 15: Sound revision powerpoint

PERIOD OF WAVE

How long a wave takes to repeat itself

Page 16: Sound revision powerpoint

LONGITUDINAL WAVES

Particles vibrate in the same direction as the energy

Page 17: Sound revision powerpoint

TRANSVERSE WAVES

Particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction that the energy travels

Page 18: Sound revision powerpoint

HERE ARE A FEW FACTS Sound travels faster in higher

temperatures In a vacuum sound waves cannot travel

because there are no particles to carry them

Sound waves are produced in musical instruments and voices by objects and air vibrations

Things that vibrate make sounds

HOW WE HEAR The pinna (the large flap of ear we can see)

collects the sound waves and then these pass through the ear canal until they reach the ear drum. The ear drum vibrates and pass the sound waves into the middle ear. This meets three small bones called the ossicles that transmit sound very efficiently. The vibrations from these bones are passed through the fluid in the cochlea and make tiny hairs move. When the hairs move they cause an electrical signal to travel through the auditory nerve and send a message to the brain. Your brain makes sense of the signal and you can hear the sound.
