Physical Science Chapter 16 - Sound Waves

A change in the pitch of a sound

Echolocation and sonar are similar because they use        sound waves.

As wavelengths of a sound wave decrease, the frequency of the sound wave

The amplitude of a sound wave is related most closely to its

The                                     ear collects the sound waves.

Which is NOT a way that humans use high frequency sound waves?

Which factor is most important in distinguishing sounds from different musical instruments?

Sound waves carry              from place to place.

An adult male's deep voice has a

A sound that has a high frequency has a

As a sound wave moves through a medium, the particles of the medium

The movement of blood in an artery can be analyzed using

The structure of the middle ear                    sound.

Which motion best describe how the particles in medium move when sound wave move through medium

the movement of sound through a medium

The              ear amplifies sound.

                                  describes the movement of a sound wave through a material.

The                                 ear sends signals about the sound to the brain.

A sound wave transfers energy to a medium when                                      occurs.

The transfer of energy by a wave to the medium though which it travels

Echoes are caused by the                                          of sound waves.

As the energy of a sound wave increases, its

The more energy a sound wave has, the greater its                    is.
