5. How does the length of a vibrating object affect sound?
Length of an object can change the vibration and cause the pitch to
change. Shorter materials vibrate faster than longer ones. The faster
a string, wire, or air in a tube vibrates, the higher the pitch of the
sound. For example, when you shorten the length of a guitar string it
makes a higher pitched sound.
So that the strings can be fretted and therefore made shorter, thus raising the
pitch
10. Why do you think the movement of sound is described as a
sound wave??????( Workbook Q5) ( Homework)
11. Why do you think the movement of sound is
described as a sound wave??????( Workbook Q5)
We say sound is a wave because the air molecules move
back and forth while the sound travels along.
14. The sound is a mechanical energy which can be produced only due to the
vibration produced in the material body. The mechanical waves need some
material medium for propagation. The vacuum has no material medium;
therefore, sound energy cannot propagate.
Why cannot sound travel in a
vacuum???
