How it works?

What is Sound?
3
Sound s interesting.

- is a form of energy.
- is made when air molecules
vibrate and move in a pattern
called waves, or sound waves.

 Think of when you clap your
hands, or when you slam the car
door shut.
"I recognize
That action produces sound waves,
that sound."
which travel to your ears and then to
your brain, which says,
 Have you ever
wondered how does
sound travel?
What produces the
sound?
 Basically……

• Sound is a wave, a
longitudinal wave
• Sound needs a medium to
travel.

 TWO TYPES OF WAVES

10
 Sound is a wave, a longitudinal wave

- Longitudinal wave is where particles are

displaced parallel to the wave direction.

 Terms to remember:

✘ A crest is the point on a wave

with the maximum value or
upward displacement within a
cycle. A trough is the opposite
of a crest, so the minimum or
lowest point in a cycle.

 Sound needs a medium to travel

- In 1654, Otto von Guericke discovered

that the intensity of sound is lessened if the
air is removed from a jar from which a
mechanical bell is ringing inside.

“The conclusion is that sound needs a

medium for its transmission”

19
Through which state of matter will
sound travel the fastest? Slowest?

20
 Soundsinteresting

- Sound can travel faster in

mediums with higher elastic
properties than in lower elastic
properties.

22
 Soundsinteresting

- Temperature can also affect the

speed of sounds.
- Molecules at higher temperatures
have more energy, thus they can
vibrate faster.

23
 Soundsinteresting

- Since the molecules vibrate

faster, sound waves can travel
more quickly.
- The speed of sound in room
temperature air is 346 meters per
second.

There are two different aspects to
sound: the physical process
(outside) and physiological
process (inside).
