  • Slide 1
  • Slide 2
  • If a tree falls in a forest, and no one is around to hear it, did it make a sound?
  • Slide 3
  • What is sound? Sound is a form of energy, just like electricity and light. Sound is made when air molecules vibrate and move in a pattern called waves or sound waves.
  • Slide 4
  • Think of when you clap your hands, or when you slam the car door shut. That action produces sound waves, which travel to your ears and then to your brain, which says, "I recognize that sound."
  • Slide 5
  • Sound is created by vibrations that produce waves of energy that move through matter
  • Slide 6
  • Vibration: a back and forth movement (that causes sound)
  • Slide 7
  • *ALL sound is caused by vibration!
  • Slide 8
  • The vibrations travel in waves away from the object. Sound Wave: a longitudinal wave caused by vibrations traveling through a medium.
  • Slide 9
  • Sound Waves are longitudinal (compressional) waves. The molecules are being pressed together as the sound waves move through matter. Longitudinal waves travel through the springs just like sound waves travel through the air.
  • Slide 10
  • Compression: the part of a sound wave where the molecules are crowded together Rarefraction: the part of a sound wave where the molecules are spread apart
  • Slide 11
  • Medium- a substance through which a wave can travel.
  • Slide 12
  • Properties of Sound
  • Slide 13
  • Pitch Pitch = how high or low a sound is
  • Slide 14
  • Properties of Sound frequency Pitch depends on frequency
  • Slide 15
  • Remember that Frequency is the number of waves that pass by a point each second
  • Slide 16
  • Properties of Sound Larger frequency = higher pitch Smaller frequency = lower pitch slinky demo
  • Slide 17
  • High Pitch vs Low Pitch Flute http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weTVPmWnlKE Trombone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcwMovQ6US0
  • Slide 18
  • Notice the amplitude (volume)is the same, but the pitch changes. Low frequency Low Pitch Medium frequency Medium Pitch High frequency High Pitch how do you think opera singers can break glass when hitting high notes?
  • Slide 19
  • Pitch that Hertz hertz Pitch is measured in hertz (Hz)
  • Slide 20
  • Humans can hear sounds that vibrate between 20 times a second (20 Hertz) to about 20,000 times a second (20,000 Hertz).
  • Slide 21
  • Ultrasonic: a sound that is HIGHER than 20,000 Hz
  • Slide 22
  • Examples:
  • Slide 23
  • Ultrasonic: a sound that is HIGHER than 20,000 Hz Examples: Bats Dogs Dolphins
  • Slide 24
  • Infrasonic: a sound that is LOWER than 20 Hz
  • Slide 25
  • Infrasonic: a sound that is LOWER than 20 Hz Examples: ElephantsWhales

  • Slide 27
  • Slide 28
  • Properties of Sound Loudness Loudness measures how well a sound can be heard.
  • Slide 29
  • Properties of Sound Loudness depends on amplitude
  • Slide 30
  • Remember that Amplitude is the wave height
  • Slide 31
  • Properties of Sound lower amplitude = softer sound higher amplitude = louder sound
  • Slide 32
  • Loud sound =
  • Slide 33
  • Soft sound =
  • Slide 34
  • LOUDNESS! decibels Loudness is measured in decibels
  • Slide 35
  • Slide 36
  • *Pain threshold for hearing is 120 dB (hearing loss can occur)
  • Slide 37
  • Pitch Frequency Hertz Loudness Amplitude Decibels can you think of a fun acronym for remember ing these?
  • Slide 38
  • Sound Travel
  • Slide 39
  • How does sound travel differ through different states of matter?
  • Slide 40
  • Sound travels through all forms of matter.
  • Slide 41
  • Speed of Sound The speed of sound depends on the medium it travels through.
  • Slide 42
  • Why does sound travel fastest in a solid?
  • Slide 43
  • Solid- molecules are packed tightly Examples: rock, metal, wood Solid =
  • Slide 44
  • Liquid- molecules are close together Example: water Liquid =
  • Slide 45
  • Gas- molecules spread apart Example: air Gas =
  • Slide 46
  • Sound travels fastest through solids because the molecules are tightly packed together
  • Slide 47
  • Sound travels fastest through solids
  • Slide 48
  • Vacuum: a place where there are NO molecules (outer space) *There is no sound in outer space because there are no molecules (there is NO matter)
  • Slide 49

  • Slide 50
  • A tiny piece of space junk hits this space shuttle. There are two astronauts in the picture one inside the capsule, and one outside. Can either of them hear the impact? What do you think?
  • Slide 51
  • Slide 52
  • Summarizer Number 1-4 on your paper. Discuss the pitch and loudness of each wave. Pitch = high or lowLoudness= soft or loud
  • Slide 53
  • pitch.
