how is sound energy transferred?
by vibrating particles
1 of 29
how would you make it easier for sound to travel
if the particles were closer
2 of 29
why cant sound travel travel in a vacuum
because it has no particles
3 of 29
where can sound be seen?
in an oscillloscope
4 of 29
what is the frequency of the wave?
how many waves pass a point in a second
5 of 29
what is a wavelength of a wave
the distance travelled by one particle during 1 complete vibration
6 of 29
what kind of wave is sound
longitudinal
7 of 29
what kind of notes do high pitches have?
high
8 of 29
what kind of sound would you need to have with a large amplitude
sounds with loud volumes
9 of 29
what is the speed of sound?
330m/s
10 of 29
create a poem/song memorising all of the different parts of the ear.
must include: all of the features of the ear.
11 of 29
what is the decibel scale
it measures the loudness of a sound
12 of 29
when do particles vibrate more?
when they have a higher temperature
13 of 29
what state of matter does convection happen in?
gases and liquids
14 of 29
what happens when liquids and gases heat up?
they become less dense and rise
15 of 29
what causes convection currents?
the rising and falling og hot an cool fluids
16 of 29
how is radiant heat energy given out?
by all hot objects
17 of 29
does radiant heat energy need a material to travel through?
no
18 of 29
what is conduction?
where heat energy is passed on by vibrating particles
19 of 29
what state of matter does conduction happen in? why
solids as the particles are touching and there are free electrons
20 of 29
how would you work out the speed of something?
distance / time
21 of 29
how would you work out the distance of something?
time x speed
22 of 29
how would you work out the time of something?
distance / speed
23 of 29
question: a family set off from home and walk at average speed of 3.6km/h. how far will they travel in two hours? give your answer in km.
distance (km) = speed (km/h) x time(h) = 3.6 x 2 = 7.2 km
24 of 29
question: how long would it take a woman to walk 10km if her average speed was 5.4km/h?
time(mins) = distance(km)/speed(km/h) = 10 / 5.4 = 1.85hrs
25 of 29
