Physics of Sound

AB
Food energyLiving things convert this into motion & heat
FuelsMaterials that store energy
Energy conversionWhen energy changes from one form to another
SunSource of most energy on Earth
EchoCreated when sound waves hit an object & bounce back toward their source
MediumSolids, liquids, & gases
Amplitudethe height of a sound wave
WavelengthThe distance from one highest point on a sound wave to the next
OscilloscopeMachine that creates an image of sound
HertzThe unit scientists use to measure the frequency of sound
PitchHow high or low a sound is
Slow vibrations =Lower pitch
Faster vibrations =Higher pitch
More molecules =Sound travels faster
Less molecules =Sound travels slower
Warmer medium =Sound travels faster
Cooler medium =Sound travels slower
The Sun's energy comes in 2 forms:Light & heat
