Vocabulary
• Intensity – the amount of energy an sound wave carries per second through a unit area. Measured in watts per meter squared. W/m²– Example – When a sound wave carries a
large amount of energy, the molecules of the medium move a greater distance as the wave pass by, and the sound has a greater amplitude EQ: How does intensity, loudness,
frequency and pitch affect sound waves?

Vocabulary
• Loudness – sound level, describes what you actually hear. A sound wave of greater intensity sounds louder
• Decibels (dB) – measures loudness. A sound you can barely hear is 0 dB. 100dB can damage your ears.
EQ: How does intensity, loudness, frequency and pitch affect sound waves?

Intensity determines loudness.
SECTIONOUTLINESECTIONOUTLINE
A sound wave with a higher amplitude and energy is perceived as a louder sound.

Intensity determines loudness.
A sound wave with a lower amplitude and energy is perceived as a softer sound.

Vocabulary
Frequency – the number of vibrations that occur per second in a sound wave. Measured in Hertz. A frequency of 50Hz means 50 vibrations per second.– We hear sounds with frequencies that are between
20Hz and 20,000Hz
Ultrasound – sound waves with frequencies above the normal range of hearing
Infrasound – sound waves with frequencies below the human range of hearing EQ: How does intensity,
loudness, frequency and pitch affect sound waves?

Vocabulary
• Pitch – a description of how high or how low a sound seems to a person.
• Pitch depends on the frequency of a sound wave– High frequency means high pitch– Low frequency means low pitch
EQ: How does intensity, loudness, frequency and pitch affect sound waves?

Frequency determines pitch.
A sound wave with a higher frequency and shorter wavelength is perceived to have a higher pitch.
A sound wave with a lower frequency and longer wavelength is perceived to have a lower pitch.

frequency and pitch affect
sound waves?

Piano Example of Pitch
Tension - A tighter string produces a higher frequency. Therefore you hear the sound at a higher pitch.
Length of the string - right side of the piano has higher pitch, shorter string. Left side of piano has lower pitch, longer string
Thickness of a string – thicker means lower pitch EQ: How does intensity, loudness, frequency and
pitch affect sound waves?

Vocabulary
• Resonance – when the frequency of the sound wave exactly matches the frequency of an object

Doppler Effect
The apparent change in frequency as a wave source moves in relation to the listener

frequency and pitch affect
sound waves?

Doppler Effect
• As a sound source moves toward the listener, the waves reach the listener with a higher frequency. The pitch appears to increase because of the Doppler effect
