Draw a diagram showing how a particle in air may vibrate when a loud sound is passed through it compared to a quiet sound. How is volume linked to amplitude | The greater the volume the greater the amplitude (size) of vibration. Scan |
What materials ( medium) can sound travel through? What do sound waves carry | Solids liquids and gases. Sound waves carry energy |
Rank these in terms of how fast sound travels through them from fastest to slowest? Gas, liquid solid. Why are they in this order | Solids liquids then gases. In solids the particles are closer together so the energy can be transferred quickly by collision |
Explain how sound waves are detected by the ear, there are 6 stages. Use as many key terms as possible. | |
What is the human hearing range | 20Hz to 20000Hz |
Explain using the key terms reflected, absorbed and transmitted how different types materials affect if sound can travel from the ground floor in a building to the first floor | |
How do bats and dolphins use echo location to find their way around and their prey | |
Sound is a longitudinal wave, what does this mean? Draw a diagram showing how particles in a gas move when a sound wave passes through them | Longitudinal waves are produced by vibrations of objects that move backwards and forwards. The particles that carry the sound only vibrate backwards and forwards |
Surface water waves are transverse, what does this mean? Draw a water wave showing how the water molecules vibrate. Label the crests and troughs and the amplitude on the diagram. | Transverse waves are produced by the vibrations of objects that are up and down. The particles in water are moving at right angles to the direction the wave is travelling at |
