At the end of the lesson, student should be able to: 1) describe sound waves.

2) explain how the loudness relates to amplitude. 3) explain how the pitch relates to frequency. 4) describe applications of reflection of sound waves. 5) calculate distances using the reflection of sound waves.

1.

Sound waves are longitudinal waves which require a medium for its propagation.

2. When a tuning fork vibrates, layers of air vibrate and the sound energy is propagated through the air around it in the form of waves. 3. When the tuning fork moves forwards, the air is compressed. 4. When the tuning fork moves backwards, the air layers are pulled apart and cause a rarefaction. 5. Therefore, a series of compression and rarefactions will

6. The loudness of the sound is depend to the amplitude.

7. The pitch of the sound is depend to the frequency.

8. Echo is a phenomenon when a sound wave has been reflected off a surface , and is heard after the original sound.
