PRESENTATION OUTLINE

HERTZ

  • Hertz is the SI unit of wave
  • frequency
  • Where 1 hertz equals 1 wave passing a fixed point per second

MEDIUM

  • Medium is the name for the matter that the waves travel through

PITCH

  • The way a person perceived the frequency of a sound whether it is high or low

REFLECTION

REFRACRION

  • Refraction is the bending of waves as they enter a new medium at an angle and change speed

SOUND

  • Sound is the transfer of energy from a vibrating object in longitudinal waves that travel through matter

WAVE AMPLITUDE

  • The maximum distance the partials of a medium move from their resting positions when when a wave passes through is called wave amplitude

WAVE FREQUENCY

  • Is the number of waves that pass a fixed position in any given time

WAVE SPEED

  • Is how far a wave trackers in any given amount of time
  • Calculated a wavelength x wave frequency

WAVELENGTH

  • The distance between two corresponding points of are cent waves such as the distance between two adjacent crest of a transverse wave

VOLUME

  • Perceived loudness of a sound determined by the amplitude of a sound wave
