Test: Sound - Question 1

What is an ultrasound wave?

Detailed Solution for Test: Sound - Question 1
20 kHz is the average upper limit for human hearing. Many animals including cats, dogs and bats can hear ultrasound
Test: Sound - Question 2

A car horn produces a sound wave of frequency 680 Hz. When the sound wave is travelling through air, it has a wavelength of 0.5 m. What is the speed of the sound wave?

Detailed Solution for Test: Sound - Question 2
Light travels much faster so during a thunderstorm you see the lightning before hearing the thunder. If you count the time taken for the thunder to arrive after the flash, for every 3 seconds you count, the lightning was about one kilometre away

Test: Sound - Question 3

If the pitch of a sound wave is increased, does the time period between waveforms increase or decrease?

Detailed Solution for Test: Sound - Question 3
Increasing the pitch means the sound wave vibrates more rapidly therefore there will be less time between the arrival of each successive compression or rarefaction
Test: Sound - Question 4
What are echoes?
Detailed Solution for Test: Sound - Question 4
Common examples used in the GCSE are sonar from ships and submarines to measure depth, bats using echo location to find their prey and echoes in the mountains
Test: Sound - Question 5
What kind of a wave is a sound wave?
Detailed Solution for Test: Sound - Question 5
The energy and vibrations are in the same direction
Test: Sound - Question 6
The car horn and car unfortunately find themselves under water in a river. The car horn still produces a sound wave with a frequency of 680 Hz, however the speed of the sound is dramatically increased to 1485 m/s. What is the wavelength of the sound wave in water?
Detailed Solution for Test: Sound - Question 6
The denser the medium, the faster a sound wave will travel
Test: Sound - Question 7
What is the pitch of a sound determined by?
Detailed Solution for Test: Sound - Question 7
On the tonic sol-fa (doh, ray, mi etc) the first doh has a lower pitch than ray, which has a lower pitch than mi and so on
Test: Sound - Question 8
What is the loudness of a sound wave determined by?
Detailed Solution for Test: Sound - Question 8
A larger amplitude means the energy carried by the waves is bigger, but the frequency and wavelength remain the same
Test: Sound - Question 9
If a sound wave is made louder, what happens to the amount of energy the wave has?
Detailed Solution for Test: Sound - Question 9
The pressure difference between compressions and rarefactions is greater
Test: Sound - Question 10
How do sound waves travel?
Detailed Solution for Test: Sound - Question 10
They are waves of alternating higher and lower pressure
