Essential Vocabulary & Concepts |
Picture | Core Knowledge or
Concept |
|
Sound is a disturbance that
travels through a medium as a
longitudinal wave. Sound begins with a vibration. Sound waves can travel in solids, liquids and gasses. |
An echo is when sound waves reflect off of an object | |
|
Sound waves spread out and can diffract or bend around
objects. |
The loudness of a sound depends
on the amplitude or
energy of its wave. Intensity is the measure of the energy of a sound wave over an area. The unit of loudness is the decibel dB. |
|
Distance can make
sounds less loud. As sound waves spread out, they have less energy per unit of area, so they sound softer. |
|
The pitch of a sound depends on its frequency. The unit of frequency is the Hertz or Hz. Humans can ususally hear from 20Hz to 20,000 Hz. |
|
|
The speed of sound is different in
different materials. Sound generally goes slower in gasses and faster in solids. Speed can change with elasticity, density, and temperature. A sonic boom is when something goes faster than mach 1, the speed of sound. |
|
Doppler effect moving
sound sources can make frequencies appear higher or lower by
compressing or spreading out waves. |
Scientist / Engineers Robert Moog manufactured early synthesizers by creating sound modules that could generate or change sound waves. |
|
Technology Synthesizers are musical instruments that simulate or create the sounds of instruments by changing the shapes of sound waves. |
