    Sound is a form of energy that is produced by a vibrating source and travels as a longitudinal wave through a medium such as solid, liquid, or gas. It has characteristics such as pitch, with low frequency waves having a lower pitch and high frequency waves having a higher pitch, and loudness, which is determined by the volume and intensity of the sound wave. Sound also travels faster through solids and liquids than through gases like air.

    Sound

    • Sound is a form of energy.

    • It comes from a vibrating source.

    • Sound is a longitudinal wave and it needs a


    medium to travel.

    • Sound can travel through solids, liquids, and


    gases.

    Sound Characteristics
    Low frequency sound waves = low pitch

    When things vibrate slowly they make a low sound.

    High frequency sound waves = high pitch

    When things vibrate quickly they make a high pitched sound.


    • Loudness is characterized by high volume
    and intensity.

    Loud Sound Wave = Purple Line

    Soft Sound Wave = Yellow Line


    Sound can travel faster through non-porous solids
    and liquids than it does through gases such as air.

    •Sound travels through air at about 300 meters per


    second.
    •Sound travels through liquid at about 1500 meters
    per second.
    •Sound travels through solids at about 4500
    meters per second.

    Solids are conductors of sound.
