Presentation Transcript
Review • Definition: maximum displacement from the equilibrium position • How is wavelength related to frequency? • What does stand for? • Definition: material through which a wave travels •What two things does the period of a pendulum depend on?
Review •Definition: Number of waves per second • Definition: wave that travels parallel to the particles of the medium • What is the “wave equation”? • Definition: unit to measure frequency • Definition: time for one vibration
Like ALL waves, sound is caused by a vibration Demo – tuning fork in water music box – more vibration, more sound
LONGITUDINAL * Sound is a ________________ wave compression rarefaction
medium * Sound needs a ________________ (sound can not travel in a vacuum)
Remember..... The speed of a wave just depends on its ___________ medium
* At room temperature sound travels _______ 343 m/s 300,000,000 m/s * Light travels ________________ You SEE lightning before You HEAR thunder
WARM * Sound travels faster in _________ air than _________ air COLD
SOLIDS * Sound travels fastest in ___________, slower in ______________ , and slowest in ____________ LIQUIDS GASES
The perceived highness or lowness of a sound, depending on the frequency of the sound wave PITCH - high pitch high frequency low pitch low frequency
v = l f = 343 m/s Small l Big f High note Big l Small f Low note
the apparent change in frequency due to the motion of the wave source Doppler Effect - http://www.lon-capa.org/~mmp/applist/doppler/d.htm Doppler Football
Vsource Vsource < Vwave = 0
Vsource Vsource > Vwave = Vwave
HIGH FREQUENCY TOWARD C LOW FREQUENCY AWAY C
REVIEW Three waves pass every second. If the wave speed is 150 m/s, what is the wavelength?
REVIEW What is the velocity of this wave if it takes 1/2 s for each wave to pass? 12 meters
REVIEW Standing waves are formed on a 18 m rope. What is the when there is one segment? 3 segments? 4 segments? 6 segments?
