SOUND WAVES
1. Is a mechanical wave. It can travel in air.
2. What is the best transmitter of sound?

PROPERTIES OF SOUNDS
3. Is the maximum displacement from the rest position
it is the height of the crest or depth of a through
measured from the normal undisturbed position.
4. Is the distance between two successive crests or two
successive troughs. It is also equal to the distance
between any two identical points on successive
waves.
5. Is the number of crests or troughs that pass a point
per second. This is equivalent to the number of
complete waves generated per second. Frequency is
measured in terms of hetz(Hz)
6. Is the time taken to generate on complete wave. It is
also the time taken for the crests or any given point
on the wave to move a distance of one wavelength
7. The wave is the distance moved by a wave in one
second. Since the wave crests travels a distance of
one wavelength in one period, the wave speed

CHARACTERISTICS OF SOUND
8. Sound is a form of energy and is derived in two ways.
Which are?
9. Are described by how our ears perceived it.
10. Are those we can refer to the physical characteristics
of sound
11. Is a laymen’s term in the height of a tone, the
frequency of a wave dictates the pitch. The greater
the frequency the higher the pitch.
12. As a measure of an energy of a wave, such that the
greater the amplitude of a wave the greater the
energy.
13. The energy carried by a sound wave is perceived is
loudness. We used sound intensity which is the rate
at which a wave transports energy per unit area, we
use decibel(d8) as a unit of sound intensity level.
14. Tone color or quality is called timber or timbre
(pronounced as tam-ber). This is the independent of
frequency or wave length of the sound wave
produced
