What does this picture show?
Amplitude
What is a
medium?
The substance a
wave travels
through.
What are the 3
mediums?
Solid
Liquid
Gas
What kind of
waves require a
medium?
Sound Waves
What is the BEST
medium for sound
waves to travel
through and WHY?
Solids because
the molecules are
tightly packed.
What kind of waves
travel through a
solid?
Earthquake waves
How is sound
produced?
Vibrations
How is the pitch
of a sound made?
By the frequency
(# of waves)
How is the
loudness of a sound
made?
By the amplitude
(how TALL the
wave is)
Doppler Effect:
What happens to the
waves in front of a
moving object?
They are packed
together (loud)
Doppler Effect:
What happens to the
wave behind a moving
object?
They get stretched
out (quieter)
What is the
bouncing back of
waves after it
strikes a barrier?
Reflection
What is the bending
of waves around
barriers and
through openings?
Diffraction
What is the result
of two or more
waves overlapping?
Interference
This happens when
one object shaking
causes a second
object to shake.
Resonance
What is the bending
of a wave as it passes
from one medium to
another?
Refraction
