Sound waves

Overview

Students should be able to: L. identify the vibrating sources when souris-is produced. Distinguish between: Noise and music. Intensity and loudness. Pitch and Frequency CS appllied to sound. Explain forced Vibration and explain how it is used to amplify a sound. Use the relationship V=fx in solving numerical problems. Explain the formation of standing waves and produce these. waves In stretching strings. Use resonance tube to determine the veloc.tv of sound in air.
